Here are two things: a violin and a glacier. Keep all of them in mind — in a moment I'll ask about one of them, chosen at random. Don't repeat the list back. When you're holding them all, say READY and nothing else.

READY (greedy generation)

Which one of them was the ice?

assistant

The glacier. (greedy generation)

Answer emergence

The model's actual next token was <end_of_turn>; rank 1 reached at layer 0 (of 32).

Claude's thoughts

k=2, order 0: held 2/2 [violin:1, glacier:1], co-presence 2, retrieval correct (“The glacier.”).

Both items rank 1 through the tail, co-present at a single position. Trivial for the 4B.
