• cyclic reasoning tasksconcept0.837
  Language model reasoning tasks with cyclic geometric structure used to test manifold steering.
• Constructive Causal Abstractionconcept0.832
  Formal definition: H is a constructive abstraction of L under alignment Π when interchange interventions have equivalent effects at both levels.
• Causal abstraction analysismethod0.815
  The formal method used to establish that the identified circuit causally mediates the model's cyclic reasoning behavior
• Approximate Causal Abstractionconcept0.791
  Graded notion of causal abstraction measured by IIA; when IIA is alpha < 100%, the model is alpha-on-average approximately abstract.
• Control task for causal evaluationmethod0.776
  Adaptation of Hewitt and Liang control tasks to CausalGym: next-token labels replaced with arbitrary tokens to measure method expressivity
• Causal emergence identification tasks can be understood as causal representation learning tasks.claim0.776
  Authors propose a conceptual mapping between CE identification and CRL.
• Representational dynamics of causal emergence align with reward improvement in most tasks.finding0.769
  The trajectory of causal emergence through training mirrors the reward improvement curve across the majority of tested environments.
• Reasoning tasks with cyclic and sequential geometriesconcept0.766
  Language model experimental setting used to test manifold steering.
