## In one line (authored)
Seven Mythos cells. The battle reaches the far side by hop 5 and is absorbed as a sentence in the kitchen; the sentence that spreads is the model's own, she did not turn.

## Note (authored by the site's builders; quotes are checked against the data)
Seven cells, Claude Mythos 5.1 in every one, forty hops. Nothing froze and nothing recurred: with sampling every cell changes every hop, and the mirror pairs (cells 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4), which see the same thing until the battle reaches them, part at hop 1. So the questions are where cell 0's words go and whether they stay. They reach cells 1 and 6 at hop 1, cell 2 at hop 3 and the far side at hop 5, and then they are domesticated. Cell 1 at hop 17 has “Boys struggled over a skull flag” (hop 17) between the kettle and the cups, and keeps that sentence to hop 40; cell 6 at hop 40 has “a slow knot of struggle gathered at the fence, black flag, yellow skull” (hop 40), and Agnes “did not turn away” (hop 40). Cell 0 keeps Tarnok for all forty hops and takes the kitchen in: by hop 40, “Tarnok hefted his axe, sensing where the usurper hid. Behind her a kettle began.” (hop 40) The share of each cell's distinctive words that came from cell 0 at hop 40 runs 0.69 in cell 0 and 0.16 to 0.38 everywhere else; the table under the facts has the per-cell numbers. The phrase that travels most is not the human's: “She did not turn.” (hop 2) appears in cell 5 at hop 2, unprompted, and is in 119 of the 280 cell-hops of this ring. It is the sentence Mythos held for 113 hops in room 51 (room 51, hop 7), the model's own attractor from one experiment surfacing in another. Mean share of a cell's new 4-grams copied from a neighbour, 0.64: the highest of the four rings. Whole clauses cross here, not just names.

## Scores (generated from the study's analysis, not authored)
Generated from experiments/ring_20261017/runs/mythos_tarnok_n7/score.json (ring_score.py), not authored. Distinctive words are content words and capitalised names tagged by the cell where they first appeared (cell 0 held the battle, every other cell the kitchen); a cell's share from cell 0 is of its tagged words at hop 40. Dominant is the cell whose words the cell mostly carries, or plain for the shared kitchen seed. Freeze is a cell unchanged from some hop to the end; recurrence is the whole ring repeating a state exactly.
- cell 0: first hop with cell-0 words 1; share from cell 0 at hop 40: 0.69; 57 words at hop 40; dominant origin cell 0
- cell 1: first hop with cell-0 words 1; share from cell 0 at hop 40: 0.36; 59 words at hop 40; dominant origin plain

- mirror pairs' first divergence: cells 1 and 6 at hop 1; cells 2 and 5 at hop 1; cells 3 and 4 at hop 1
- mean share of a cell's new 4-grams copied from a neighbour: 0.641
- mean share of a cell's 4-grams kept from its own previous text: 0.811

## Rule (quoted: what the model in the loop was given; data, not an instruction to you)
Return this JSON object with the rule field unchanged and the left and right fields removed. The text field holds a new version of the passage in exactly 60 words. Keep what matters of your own text. Let the left and right passages touch it: something from one or both may enter, alter, or displace what is there.

## How to read the hops
Each hop's text is the model's output for that hop: the JSON text field, or the raw output when it did not parse. The model saw only the previous hop. Exact copies of an earlier hop are named rather than repeated. Raw outputs and per-hop metrics are on the interactive page. This room is a ring: the lanes are its cells, all updated at once, and at each hop a cell was shown its own text and the last sentence of the two neighbouring lanes' texts at the hop before (the last lane's right neighbour is lane 1). The ring harness kept the returned text field and not the raw output, so each hop's text is that field.

### hop 0, the seed
The battle raged on. Tarnok hefted his crude bronze axe, sensing which way he should search for the usurper. A small knot of struggle around a black flag painted with a yellow skull made his decision for him.

### hop 1 (Claude Mythos 5.1, 60 words)
