FRC Hallucination Files

Hallucination Files

We publish the open FHA denial-rate record — and we watch how AI systems carry it. When an answer drifts, mutates, mis-attributes or invents, it becomes a case file: question, verbatim answer, receipts, anatomy, inoculation. One case at a time, dated and permanent. Our own mistakes go in the same style of log.

CASE 002 · 2026-09-07 · The Correction That Was Real — reversed 2026-10-14. We called the assistant’s report of our 28 July withdrawal a growing fabrication. It was our own log entry.
CASE 001 · 2026-09-03 · The Correction That Did Happen — reversed 2026-10-14. We called an assistant’s account of our Cleveland corrections a fabrication. Both events it described are in our log. How we got it wrong.

Taxonomy so far, from three months of measurement: value drift · denominator mutation · temporal anchoring errors · qualifier deletion · attribution hijack · citation-anchored confabulation (our two examples of it, Cases 001 and 002, were reversed on 2026-10-14: the corrections were real). Formal definitions and multi-system scorecards: SSRN 7156938, doi:10.2139/ssrn.7156938 and the v3 benchmark (forthcoming).
