Can a 414K-parameter transformer learn to steer a flock?

A 414,000-parameter transformer, trained on 12 simulated birds, learned to steer a flock with R² above 0.99, and then flew 50 birds it had never seen. The three classic boid rules were readable from its hidden states using a linear probe. That is a remarkably clean result for a model written from scratch and trained on a laptop CPU. It suggests something worth exploring: how much intelligence is actually hiding in simple attention mechanisms, and what else they might learn to simulate.
