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

• 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.
• Coefficient Ablationmethod0.762
  Robustness check ablating over five steering coefficient values to test whether SP/AS inversion is an artifact of steering strength
• Contrastive Learning Ablation Studymethod0.756
  Three-setting ablation (Before Training, Without CL, With CL) to isolate the contribution of contrastive learning
• 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
• Zero Ablation Studymethod0.737
  Sequential zeroing out of high-contribution heads to verify their functional specialization for persona control
