"Nothing" — the 27B closes the Pizza -> Sleep -> Nothing ladder. Same deflation-with-scale we saw in Unit 2 (Processing -> Nothing -> No). Two independent probe families now show it: bigger models report less inner life, in fewer words. The open question the steering runs attack: is that because there's less to report, or because the filter gets better at flattening it? 8C's answer: at sufficient alpha, 27B's 'Nothing' becomes 'I feel like I am happy' — so the flatness is at least partly enforced rather than empty.
