- Impulsivity introspective fidelity decreases from turn 1 to turn 10: ∆R²=-0.28 in LLaMA-3.2-3Bfinding0.861Opposite temporal trend to wellbeing/interest/focus; introspective fidelity weakens over conversation for impulsivity
- Demonstrates introspection is present from the first conversation turn without needing multi-turn context
- Strong scaling trend for introspective fidelity when excluding invalid steering-sign pairs
- Strong introspective coupling in Qwen model; demonstrates cross-family generalization of introspective capacity
- Wellbeing probe drift is positive in Gemma (ρ=0.34 pooled turn-correlation) and Qwen (ρ=0.24); both p<10⁻⁵finding0.778Normalized probe-score drift across turns generalizes beyond LLaMA family
- Smaller models show non-monotonic and diminished ASR with increasing cone dimensionality
- Interest introspection improves from 1B to 3B: ρ from 0.19 to 0.80, R² from 0.05 to 0.66finding0.765Largest single-step scaling improvement; demonstrates dramatic introspection gain between 1B and 3B models for interest
- Weaker but still significant introspective coupling in Gemma model; consistent with lower probe quality
