The technique subtly manipulates the probability distribution of pseudo-random candidate tokens during sampling. While completely imperceptible to human readers, the resulting mathematical signal allows automated verification tools to confirm Claude authorship with over 99.9% statistical confidence.

The implementation offers a reliable solution for combatting academic dishonesty and AI-generated disinformation without degrading generation quality.
