- Natural trait acts as anchor in mixed pairs, suppressing steerable partner at worst but never collapsing both
- A trait already strongly expressed at baseline (alpha=0) without steering intervention
- Pretraining stores latent patterns that coherent anchors can bind (or misbind) to targets.quote0.736Load-bearing quote capturing the core metaphor
- Which trait pairs combine cleanly, which produce a single dominant trait, and which collapse both?question0.735The open question motivating the pairwise composition study
- Key finding showing agentic behavior is encoded as a default operating mode in both models
- Open question proposed by authors for future work on the dimensionality and structure of persona space
- Pairwise outcome where both traits remain highly expressed under simultaneous steering
