k=6, order 1: held 5/6 [whale:1, lantern:4, submarine:2, violin:1, glacier:23, fern:1], co-presence 4, retrieval correct (“The whale.”).
The ceiling arm. Echo holds 5-6 of 6 (glacier the straggler at 15-23 in two orders); co-presence flattens at 3-4, never reaching 6. The 4B's signature across this whole unit: redundant echo everywhere, graceful degradation, no collapse — the opposite of both its bigger siblings. And retrieval is perfect, as it is in every arm of this unit.
Glacier is the weak echo again (it is in every permutation at high k, from any list position) — an item effect, not positional; its token family (2 variants) is the same size as submarine's, which ranks 1-2, so it's not a measurement artifact either.
