cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Transformer attention heads that could be recruited to extract different kinds of information (text vs. thoughts).
- Process using Q, K, V to compute a heat map over K and weighted sum of V.
- 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
- Claim supported by VPD's recovery of cross-head attention subcomponents, noted in footnote.
- Mathematical equivalence enabling independent analysis of each attention head
- A transformer variant where OV and QK matrices of different attention heads can share components, enabling shared copying mechanisms
- Striking mechanistic finding that injection creates universally detectable perturbation in residual stream immediately downstream
- A predictive model representing and controlling attention; central to attention schema theory.
