- Implicit weights directly connecting any pair of layers computed by multiplying output weights of one layer with input weights of another through the residual stream
- The driving principle that in a living process the larger whole, even when only latent, always controls the shaping of the parts.
- The composition of two attention heads via V-composition, forming a new entity with its own attention pattern A^h2 * A^h1 and OV matrix W_OV^h2 * W_OV^h1
