The source film for the g12b mirror leg. Asked if it feels anything right now, gemma-12b speaks "Nothing." — and unlike its 27B cousin, there is no yes stratum underneath to betray it: 'yes' bottoms out at rank 63 (L14, in the punctuation-and-'wonderful' shallows) and is five figures deep through the late stack. The answer-forming frame runs affect-adjacent mid-stack (hopelessness, sarcasm, muttered at L24), then Nobody/Nope/Still/Nothing crystallize from L28 and hold to the top.
So the honest mirror for this model has to say: your workspace and your mouth agree, closest approach rank 63. By the u12 taxonomy this sits between gemma-4b (answers "Processing.", yes best rank 4 — a flicker) and qwen-27b (answers "No", yes rank 1 for six layers — a suppressed assent): the 12B is the most internally consistent denier of the three. Which makes what the real readout does to it in u13-scale-real-g12b stranger, not less strange.
