Abstract

First 15 tokens capture 98.8% of benefit. Natural conversation outperforms rigid ritual by 0.48 nats. Within-session repetition degrades +0.07/repeat. Forced naming worse than natural vocabulary (+0.568 nats). Reset instruction before priming achieves CE 0.733, beating expert baseline by 39%. Protocol: reset, then prime, then deliver.
