  • Brain region containing sensory representations; corresponds to the x component in TEM.
  • Manipulation of activations along a straight line; shown to fail when it crosses voids, in contrast to manifold-following interventions.
  • Applying reverse steering vector to suppress reflective behavior at inference time.
  • Intervention method that removes a direction from residual stream activations to disrupt corresponding behavior
  • Biological analogue to ESR where top-down mechanisms detect distracting inputs and redirect processing
  • Practical restriction of interventions to those producible by actual inputs; standard in DAS practice
  • The authors' characterization of genuine but limited introspective capability found only in early-layer injection regimes
  • linear directionconcept0.674
    A straight vector in activation space, traditionally used for concept manipulation; claimed to be insufficient when true concept geometry is curved.
