Residual refusals after evil-vector transfer originate inside chain-of-thought, not at input or decode level

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

• Where exactly in the forward pass does refusal arise during chain-of-thought reasoning?question0.805
  Identified as a natural follow-up for causal and mechanistic analyses
• The evil-vector recovery is not proof of a uniquely identifiable harmfulness coordinate but evidence that fine-tuned variants can expose hard-to-estimate directionsclaim0.786
  Cautions against over-interpreting the transfer result given non-identifiability of steering vectors
• Reasoning-level safety stays partially intact even under a behaviorally effective perturbation via evil-vector transferclaim0.786
  The transfer does not always override refusal; surviving refusals are inside the CoT, matching deliberative alignment mechanism

  Residual refusals after evil-vector transfer originate inside the model's chain-of-thought, not at input or decode level
• In buildings, especially, the success of the process will be judged by the extent to which these middle-range entities appear with their own distinct symmetries, with their own definite and distinct force as strong centers.claim0.747
  Proposes middle-range entity quality as the criterion for judging the success of a building process
• Harmful responses arise from complex circuits that partially overlap with, yet are not confined to, factual reasoning and instruction followinghypothesis0.745
  Explains why Head Cor does not fully dominate for safety-related persona amplification in MMLU/IFEval metrics
• Trait refusal cosine alignment can serve as a model-specific pre-screening heuristic for identifying which traits will be dangerous under activation steering.claim0.743
  Practical application proposed based on mechanistic findings
• Saying that LLMs cannot introspect or cannot introspect on what they were doing internally while generating or reading past tokens in principle is just dead wrong. The architecture permits it.quote0.743
