age-pathology confounding

Entanglement phenomenon where age and pathology concepts cannot be independently steered without corrupting each other.

concept

Entanglement
extends
Less hierarchical than embedment; multiple texts work into and out of each other, creating associations across levels and connecting any single text to the matrix of all others.
Representational Failure
extends
A failure mode exposed by the SAE framework where model representations are entangled or collapse under intervention

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
