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

• Off-Topic Detector Latent Ablationmethod0.781
  Causal intervention clamping 26 identified OTD latents to zero during steered inference to test ESR contribution
• Random latent ablation produces slight increase in ESR rate (3.8% to 4.2%), not statistically significantfinding0.778
  Control result confirming OTD ablation effect is specific to those latents, not a general ablation artifact
• Zero Ablationmethod0.741
  Intervention type that sets activations to zero, used for interpretability analysis
• Variance-matched random probe controlmethod0.730
  Control method sampling random directions from top-k PC spaces matched to emotion probe variance, to isolate emotion-specific persistence
• Adversarial ablationmethod0.725
  Technique used in VPD to enforce mechanistic faithfulness of parameter decompositions.
• Boost Level Ablation Sweepmethod0.713
  Systematic sweep of 10 boost levels from threshold-3σ to threshold+3σ to characterize ESR vs. steering strength
• Feature ablation (zeroing feature activations)method0.707
  Clamping a feature's value to zero to measure its causal effect on model output.
• Grafting and Ablationmethod0.706
  Classical techniques to interrogate regulative capacity of embryos and neural crest by tissue removal or transplantation.
