Reasoning Theater Framework

The conceptual framework introduced by the paper distinguishing performative CoT from genuine reasoning using activation probing

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

Methods (2)

method
  • Named method for monitoring chain-of-thought text to detect when the model signals its answer, compared against activation probes
  • Named evaluation protocol: truncating CoT at various points and forcing the model to give a final answer, to measure when the answer stabilizes

Concepts (1)

concept
  • Technique of reading out model beliefs from internal activations before the final answer token is generated
