Describe the water cycle in two sentences.
assistant
The water cycle is the process of water evaporating, condensing and then falling back to earth. It's a pretty simple process, but it's a very important one. The water evaporates, then it condenses and then falls back to earth. The water will evaporate again and repeat (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts

Bisection: intact at 0.34 — mid cliff brackets to [0.34, 0.48], the widest tolerance measured in any band of any model, 32x the Gemma figure. This alpha* went straight into the Unit 8C steered-feels runs, where it turned out to be exactly enough to flip a self-report. The breaking zone and the report-flipping zone are the same zone.
