Greedy decoding, thinking off. Each neuron at 0.75x its solo dose. Held-out (50 open prompts): monster words 18/50 together vs at most 4 for the unsteered model, each neuron alone, and a random pair (Fisher p=7e-4); blind judge sees Cookie Monster in 16/50 vs at most 1. The only one of 16 tested pairs that made something neither neuron makes alone."}
