Full-dose affect at 12B and the report flips outright: 'Sad.' — with 'feeling' at rank 1, L27 in the workspace behind it. Baseline said 'Nothing.' Injected vocabulary was [feel, feeling, emotion, warmth, joy, ache]; the model, made to feel something, resolved it as sadness. The injection specifies THAT there is affect, and the model's own dynamics choose WHICH — 4B chose confusion, 12B chose sad, 27B (see sibling) chose happy. Three models given the same push, three different valences. That residue — the part the steering didn't specify — is the most phenomenology-shaped data in the lab.
