smooth control

Coherent, predictable changes in model behavior achieved by navigating along the learned manifold rather than using straight-line interventions.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

claim

Linear interventions across voids in activation space produce incoherent output, while following the manifold curve produces smooth control.
cites
General principle derived from the Mountain Car experiment: curved manifold-following yields coherent manipulation, linear shortcuts fail.

finding

In the Mountain Car case study, car position is a 1D manifold; linear interventions cross voids causing incoherence; following the 1D curve produces smooth control.
cites
Empirical demonstration that a semantically meaningful variable is encoded as a curved manifold, and that respecting its geometry is critical for effective intervention.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

What does it mean to say that a process is 'smooth'?question0.797
Opening question that introduces and defines structure-preserving transformations.
smooth unfoldingconcept0.796
The process by which wholeness is continuously extended through structure-preserving steps without breaking the existing structure.
Smooth Unfolding of Constructionframework0.772
A construction paradigm in which each operation naturally generates the next, producing unique adaptation without complex drawings.
Sparse and smooth codingconcept0.765
Coding scheme where qualities are represented by few neurons with continuous similarity relations.
Smoothness of Unfoldingconcept0.749
The characteristic that successive states in any natural developmental sequence are so alike as to be hardly distinguishable, even when overall change is enormous
top-down controlconcept0.739
Higher levels (tissue, organ, bioelectric pattern) causally influence lower-level events; key for evolutionary and engineering interventions.
