# Math weight editing Pass 1: original on 32 GSM8K + 64 MATH diagnostic problems. Accuracy 11/96 (11.46%); 85/96 cut at 32768; no finished wrong answers. Dominant target: pathological long/repetitive reasoning. No edits yet. Pass 2 TF paired productive vs repetition examples showed a common repetition direction (cosine ~0.7 with generation contrast), but chat template adds an empty think block. Corrected in pass 3 (files fwd_4) using raw template. Testing layer19 MLP neuron11 output ablation; strongest matched-context repetition writer. Attention-return request failed and did not count.

Next two-site L15+L19 alpha1. Recovered passes 6-9: gen8/9 gave 7/32 vs 4/32; gen10/11 gave 9/32 vs 4/32.
