  • Central question: does geometry in activation space causally determine behavior?
  • Opening question: does the rich geometric structure of neural representations have a causal role in behavior?
  • Grouping similar model behaviors; the unsupervised method surfaces clusters of concerning patterns.
  • Adaptive Behaviorconcept0.753
    Organism's belief-guided action selection that instantiates generative model and maintains phenotypic states
  • The path traced through output probability distribution space as interventions are applied to activations
  • The path in activation space derived by optimizing steering interventions to produce outputs along the behavior manifold, independent of representation geometry.
  • Distress Signalconcept0.733
    Signal sent by fixed cells indicating the presence and location of stressed cells, enabling coordinated movement.
  • Observable behavioral pattern used to infer cognition; shared by plants and animals and proposed as evidence for sentience.
