Conditional contrasts support a bounded propensity inference; scratchpad examples are behavior evidence.
Source finding
Verbalized evaluation awareness: 35.5 %. Conditions are retained from the source.
Limitations
The setting explicitly gives fictional training information; observations do not establish an enduring hidden goal in deployment.
Terra excluded because full chain of thought encrypted.
Original figure retained without estimating numerical values. Full source tables have not been transcribed.
