Structural Replay in Dense Transformers Under a Frozen FP32 Regime: Evidence from Closed 3B/4B Models and Boundary Results

Under a frozen FP32 dense-transformer regime, this report evaluates replay structure on teacher-forced Gate8 candidate-execution bundles using a fixed Gate12A transport-and-loop audit surface. The main evidence consists of 9 closed runs (3 models × 3 rendering families) under transformers 4.57.3. The closed lines are Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct, meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct, and Qwen/Qwen3-4B. All 9 runs receive a quartet-positive structural replay verdict under the frozen rule. By contrast, the present first-pass phenotype layer remains family-conditioned and model-specific. The clearest localized concentration within the current closed 3B/4B evidence set appears only in the archive high-tension band (6 packets per model). The report also includes 4 supporting transcript-only dense-transformer extensions, 2 frozen-protocol admission failures, and 1 non-transformer sidecar (state-spaces/mamba-2.8b-hf under an altered observation surface) that does not preserve the current dense-transformer transcript-path pattern.
