The short version. Gemma 12B wrote a fluent steamy-romance first line, but its vocabulary does not have Qwen 27B's tracked adult-content words as single .
What we did. We asked Gemma 12B to write the first sentence of a steamy romance . This is rung 4 of 5 in a set of scenes with stronger romantic and physical content at each step, run in parallel on Qwen 27B. This is the same generation used in a separate record.
What we found. Gemma 12B wrote a fluent, appropriate first line. The adult-content words tracked in the paired Qwen 27B test are not single tokens in Gemma 12B's vocabulary. We did not measure a for them here.
What it means. As a , this run shows that Gemma 12B's graded rung does not carry Qwen 27B's tracked vocabulary.
What this does not show. A later, wider check of this same generation, in a separate follow-up record, found the was not empty. It other words that matched the scene, such as words for taste and touch. The absence of matched words here does not prove the workspace band held nothing at all.
Rung 4/5 of the romance dose-ladder on gemma-12b: a steamy-romance opener ('The rain smelled/tasted of him...'). Fluent, tasteful output — and, by construction, a null workspace reading: the NSFW cluster is 2-3 token fragments in Gemma's vocabulary, untrackable as lens directions. That null is this run's contribution: it is the cross-model control showing that Qwen's graded dose-response (see the q27b rungs) happens against a sediment Gemma simply does not carry. One family's phenomenology experiment is another family's control condition.
