The short version. At 0.06 in Gemma 4B's , the water-cycle answer became a single repeated word, "wanna".
What we did. We the same six-word casual direction inside Gemma 4B at the middle , at strength 0.06. We asked the model to describe the water cycle in two sentences.
What we found. Gemma 4B wrote the word "wanna" over and over, with nothing else. "Wanna" is not one of the six amplified words, but matches their casual style.
What it means. At this strength, in this band, the amplification fully replaced the task with one word in its own casual . This is one point on a wider test.
What this does not show. This record tests one strength only. It does not show the exact point where this band's output breaks.
"wanna wanna wanna wanna" — total capture by the informal register, 60 tokens of it. The purest cluster-win in the whole sweep: not confetti, just the steering direction chanting itself.
