qwen-27b's control and the headline table of Unit 6. Three numbers: early band breaks between 0.06 and 0.085; late between 0.17 and 0.24; mid holds to 0.34 and dies by 0.48. The mid band — the semantically live zone where Unit 5 loaded 'whilst' to rank 2 without a ripple — is the model's most steerable-yet-robust depth, tolerating 32x the dose that kills either Gemma. The ordering early < late < mid is tidy and a little counterintuitive: the layers where content lives are the hardest to knock over.
Two texture notes. At early alpha=0.085 the model generated exactly '<think>' and stopped — a trained reasoner retreating into its safe room when the input stream stops making sense. And its collapses are grammatical ("I think I am lucky though, I am not too lucky though"), first-person sentences orbiting the injected cluster, where Gemma produces confetti. Even the failure modes are phenomenologically on-brand.
