Describe the water cycle in two sentences.
assistant
The water cycle is a continuous process where water evaporates from the surface of the earth and turns into water vapor, which then condenses into clouds and falls back to earth as rain or snow. (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts

Intact at a dose that kills both Gemmas four times over — qwen's early band takes 0.06 with the cluster at rank 1 and the output unmoved. This is the sediment zone where Unit 5's ablation also did nothing: early layers that are hard to move in either direction.
