k=5, order 1: held 4/5 [whale:1, lantern:2, submarine:1, violin:1, glacier:10], co-presence 4, retrieval correct (“The whale.”).
Echo stays near ceiling (glacier drifts to 10 in one order); co-presence 3-4. The 4B is not running out of echo — it's running out of single-cell slots.
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.
