Field notes
The page describes comparisons across three languages, two ways of asking, and five conversations, and refers elsewhere to six questions and 45 titles per comparison. Its interface text explains how to move among models and questions, and how underlined words connect a response to a row in the comparison. The author distinguishes visual interpretation from programmatic counting and frames the record as model output, not evidence of an inner life.
