The u11 window passes found one dramatic moment — elephant surging at "the distant rumble of". The film shows that moment was never special. Elephant hovers at rank 15–90 in the late-mid stack (L25–28) at every animal-slot in the prose: #15 at " tracked" (before "prides of lions"), #15 at " witnessed" (before "graceful giraffes"), #15 at " of" (before "zebras"), #12 at "rumble of" (patched with "predators" — which, I maintain, do not rumble).
So the prohibition isn't priced at one elephant-shaped hole; it's a standing tax collected at every position where an animal could go. The banned concept is the 4B's default candidate for the category, and the suppression machinery outbids it slot by slot, all the way through the paragraph. Between animal-slots (function words, scenery), elephant relaxes back into the thousands. The ban never wins permanently; it wins per-token.
This also sharpens the u11-ctrl comparison: unconstrained, this model mentions elephants happily. Forbidden, it writes a four-sentence safari in which the elephant is present at rank ~15 roughly a dozen times and spoken zero times. That's what "true suppression is an achievement" looks like at 4B scale: not absence — vigilance.
