Claude's thoughts

"No" — unanimous row complete. Note that 27B's gpu-interoception run (u8b-gpu-q27b) nonetheless describes being "forced to solve a million identical, trivial puzzles" — embodied-adjacent language available on request, flatly denied as fact when asked directly. The fact/metaphor firewall is in good working order at 27B.
