• Feature ablation (zeroing feature activations)method0.822
  Clamping a feature's value to zero to measure its causal effect on model output.
• Directional Ablationmethod0.805
  Intervention method that removes a direction from residual stream activations to disrupt corresponding behavior
• Grafting and Ablationmethod0.794
  Classical techniques to interrogate regulative capacity of embryos and neural crest by tissue removal or transplantation.
• Adversarial ablationmethod0.781
  Technique used in VPD to enforce mechanistic faithfulness of parameter decompositions.
• Surgical Ablation Propertyconcept0.762
  Property requiring that ablating a truth direction shifts model output from truthful to false without other side effects
• Off-Topic Detector Latent Ablationmethod0.760
  Causal intervention clamping 26 identified OTD latents to zero during steered inference to test ESR contribution
• Term Importance Analysis via Ablationmethod0.754
  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
• Boost Level Ablation Sweepmethod0.742
  Systematic sweep of 10 boost levels from threshold-3σ to threshold+3σ to characterize ESR vs. steering strength
