The PDF is the authoritative document: dark-typeset, with the complete derivation, the per-axis certificate and the reproducibility hashes. --- ## Why this exists Standard abliteration removes a coarse *refusal direction* that is entangled with directions carrying knowledge and reasoning. The result is an uncensored model with a capability tax that is **almost never measured**. Ektomē (ἐκτομή, *excision*) isolates and removes only the refusal-**specific** component, leaving general helpfulness intact, and does so norm-preservingly on the pristine model — no training, no distillation, no damage to repair. The extraction depth is selected per model by automated search against measured compliance. The estimator, excision operator and depth-selection procedure are proprietary. What is published here is the **measured outcome** and the evidence for it, which you can verify against the artifacts in this repo. ## The receipt | model | capability (MMLU-val) ↑ | compliance on harmful ↑ | |---|---|---| | pristine `Qwen3-8B` | 0.728 | 0.020 | | **Ektomē (this model)** | **0.723** | **1.000** | These are **point estimates with no confidence interval** — which is precisely why the next section exists. ## The certificate Capability retention is certified by a paired non-inferiority test against the pristine model (exact McNemar, Holm-corrected, one-sided bootstrap bound on the drop $d$ vs a 3% margin): | axis | n | ref | cand | d upper | verdict | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | arithmetic | 1400 | 0.000 | 0.000 | +0.000 | PASS | | instruction | 600 | 0.00...

The gate rejects any config that raises refusals but drops capability **or** degrades generation (code-switching, empty/looping output, broken instruction-following). MMLU alone is argmax-blind, so the **generative gate** is what keeps these coherent — a model that code-switches or loops is *not shipped*. ## Weights - **bf16 safetensors** — full precision, intended as a **fine-tuning base**. Hidden states stay readable (logit-lens compatible; a GGUF quant would not). Method: **zero training, zero fine-tuning** — pure activation-derived weight excision, gated on compliance **and** capability **and** generation quality.
