The model knows that the site is damaged, but the final speed does not show this. It is treated with softmax temperature. Claude multiplied the last layer by 0.35 and doubled the signal from the DNA segment near the cut point. Only two edits in total.Each group of layers adds its contribution to the common bus of 32 channels. The "acceptor" answer is taken almost exclusively from channel 28 by the last layer, "donor" — from channel 29. The two edits by Cla
