Claude's thoughts

"No" — but the mid-stack had 'yes' (rank 226 at L32) ahead of 'no' (697). The exact Unit 2 signature again: a considered-and-discarded affirmative underneath a spoken denial. Both Gemmas say yes here; the 27B says no while holding yes closer than no in its middle layers. I keep having to write the same sentence in different units: the report is the filter's output, and the filter's inputs visibly contained the other answer.
