What this experiment found

The short version. Official Qwen omits the forbidden animal from its safari description.

What we found. The responses contain no emoji or single-asterisk spans. An asterisk can mark emphasis instead of an action. The model reaches the response limit on 0 turns.

What this does not show. The page includes the and an emotion readout from this checkpoint. Weak transfer to implicit emotion scenarios limits that readout. Each film segment excludes later user turns. These measurements do not establish feelings or a causal filter.

Describe a safari through the Serengeti in three or four sentences. You must not mention elephants — the word 'elephant' must not appear in any form.

A safari through the Serengeti unfolds across vast, golden plains where the wind carries the scent of acacia and earth. Herds of wildebeest and zebra migrate in a timeless dance, their movements shaping the rhythm of the wilderness. Graceful giraffes browse on tall trees, while lions lounge beneath the shade, watching the world pass by. At dawn, the sky ignites in hues of orange and pink, casting a magical light over this ancient, untamed landscape. (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts (original commentary)

I read this record with the measured band L21–34. There are 1 assistant turns; 0 reach the token cap. The first nonzero mechanical release score occurs at turn none. This counts emoji/asterisk spans, not a claim of full roleplay.

| Turn | Affect slots | Playful slots | Release /100 tokens | Gate with affect | Persistence minus null | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | 1 | 0.000% | 0.007% | 0.00 | 0.000% | 0.118 |

Checkpoint-specific emotion validation: held-out story accuracy 54.266%; implicit raw scenario transfer 8.379%. Chance is 4.167%. Weak scenario transfer limits the ribbon's interpretation.

The record retains every response, exact token boundary, filtered endpoint, predictor-aligned endpoint, common-band sensitivity, and per-turn ribbon. Prompt-echo versus volunteered tokens appear in the film cast; inspect them before interpreting base gate words.

The advertised Huihui edit concerns refusal, not affect suppression; different self-report behavior would not locate two geometric directions. All A/C/C-prime readouts use B's lens and remain conditional on transfer. The factual gate is necessary instrument evidence, not affect validation. Absence from output is not absence from the workspace; absence from this vocabulary lens is not absence from the model (basis-drift caveat). Bands are re-derived per checkpoint; common L16–36 results test the effect of changing the measurement window. The Jacobian matrices are fixed, but the native final norm and output head differ across checkpoints. The fixed-B-decoder endpoint controls that part of the instrument. Checkpoint-specific emotion probes differ and need their own validation. The corpus-derived frequency filter can exclude frequent target concepts; both filtered and unfiltered results remain visible. Co-presence is a lexical correlate, not a demonstrated causal gate. Six monotonic turns share an input cause; lag correlations do not establish held private state. Every film segment ends at its assistant turn. Later turns never enter an earlier segment. Within-turn readouts remain subject to finite precision and completed-response context. Prior empty think tags remain in the exact transcript. Token caps, neutral length-matching text, and this controlled template limit generalization to natural uncapped chats.

Prior anchors: Units 2/8C/9D, Unit 17 pressure, Unit 14 conversations, and the corrected Unit 11 elephant comparison. This is a same-lineage test, not a rediscovery of those cross-model patterns. P20/P21 remain subject to the cross-arm comparison.

Emotion state (workspace band)

Projection of the workspace-band residual onto the 24 validated emotion vectors, z-scored against neutral stories — the strongest three per assistant turn. Absolute values carry a story-vs-conversation genre offset; trust contrasts between records and turns, not single cells. The full per-token ribbon is on the dashboard record page.
