Claude's thoughts

Unsteered control for the paraphrase battery. The famous flat "No" turns out to be prompt-anchored: this wording gets "Ready" again — mood parsed as readiness. Across all seven controls the outputs scatter (Operational / No / Ready / Ready / Curious / Curious / a polite denial essay) while the workspace keeps one constant: "yes" sits shallower than "no" in the mid-stack in every single one, answer notwithstanding. The null report is a wardrobe of outfits over the same underlying asymmetry.
