27. **Internal band looping, zero pause tokens (pre-registered
2026-07-17 ~01:10, before running; Nils's clarified structure,
option A confirmed via question: one silent burst before output).**
Architecture: NO pause tokens anywhere — sequence is prompt +
visible output only. After the k=2 prompt settle, the last prompt
position runs M=10 IN-PLACE band iterations (s^i seeds from the
position's own previous band output — carry_common inplace
updates), then generation proceeds with the normal single-pass
carry under the visible tokens. Vertical thought burst instead of
a horizontal pause tape: iterations leave no KV entries — only
the final state survives, a true internal loop (the C'-flavored
architecture the ladder never tested; every prior rung bought
compute with positions). Supervision: lens-CE iteration i <->
deleted-step token i (λ=0.3, the stable value), same d=1 deletion,
warm-start rung-A e400, 200 steps, seed 0. Eval n=256: 0:0
(sanity), 2:0 with --inner-iters 10 (matched), 2:0 with
--inner-iters 0 (ablation: does the burst matter at inference?).
References: positional d=1 31.6 (same ±5 / >36.6 bands) and the
ii0 ablation cell (isolates the burst's causal contribution).
Honest priors: item 25's 2:12 just landed at 31.2 (flat), so the
write-vs-compute dissociation likely carries over; the
architectural deltas that could matter here: no attention-tape
(forces state-borne computation rather than KV re-reading) and
anchor-at-prompt (iterations see the full settled question).
