The analysis identifies patterns, trigger words, common scenarios, and the overall scope of the model's intended capabilities.<h2 id="trigger-words-and-phrases-2rsyi72z1">Trigger Words &amp; Phrases</h2><h3 id="primary-trigger-hszd851n4">Primary Trigger</h3><ul><li>"k3at0n style" - This appears at the beginning of every prompt, using the numeric "3" in place of "e" in "Keaton."

The model appears to have been trained with detailed attention to period authenticity, physical comedy scenarios, and the unique visual language of early cinema. The "k3at0n style" trigger serves as the primary activation phrase for this specific aesthetic.
