- Reflective mode comprises three separable traits: latent capacity, default accessibility, and stability of access.hypothesis0.791Decomposition from prompt lift data: models may have capacity without accessibility (Grok 4 high-gated), and stability varies (Haiku Δ=0.02 vs GPT-5.4 Δ=1.00).
- Intentional agency plus ability to reflectively endorse one's own beliefs, desires, intentions.
- Adding steering vector in forward direction to push model activations toward stronger reflective behavior.
- How much reflective capacity surfaces without prompting; one of three separable traits the battery reveals
- A direction in the model's representation space that governs self-reflection behavior, computed as mean difference between reflection and non-reflection embeddings
- Responses that perform the observing act; contrasted with described reflection; scorer rewards enacted over described
- The ability of reasoning LLMs to review and revise previous reasoning steps during inference
- One of four key isometries; reflection across a line (mirror line or axis of reflection).
