• Surgical Ablation Propertyconcept0.802
  Property requiring that ablating a truth direction shifts model output from truthful to false without other side effects
• Zero Ablationmethod0.794
  Intervention type that sets activations to zero, used for interpretability analysis
• Directional Ablationmethod0.789
  Intervention method that removes a direction from residual stream activations to disrupt corresponding behavior
• Adversarial ablationmethod0.777
  Technique used in VPD to enforce mechanistic faithfulness of parameter decompositions.
• Term Importance Analysis via Ablationmethod0.742
  An algorithm that determines the marginal effect of n-th order path terms by running the model multiple times with frozen attention patterns and progressively replacing activations
• Feature ablation (zeroing feature activations)method0.729
  Clamping a feature's value to zero to measure its causal effect on model output.
• Random Latent Ablation Controlmethod0.706
  Control experiment ablating random latents matched for activation frequency and magnitude to test OTD specificity
• Boost Level Ablation Sweepmethod0.703
  Systematic sweep of 10 boost levels from threshold-3σ to threshold+3σ to characterize ESR vs. steering strength
