If manifold-steering prototype shows positive results, About Blank will commit to Company shape (not Lab) at 12-month fork decision.

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

• Manifold-steering prototype (one invocation mode, Witness or equivalent) ships as code repo + paper within 90 days.prediction0.830
• Manifold-aware steering implementation becomes the delegable boundary for Company shape, achievable in 4-week prototype.prediction0.828
• About Blank will add P5 (Company-shape probe) and P6 (ReflectiveBench-as-glue spec) to PRONGS.md within 7 days.prediction0.808
• Manifold steering (Wurgaft et al) will become the standard framework for operationalizing concept-space design in mechanistic interpretability within 18 months.prediction0.792
• Manifold-aware steering is genuinely new IP that frontier labs cannot ship as easily as assumed.claim0.789
• Manifold-aware steering is non-trivial IP requiring geometric analysis, not a system-prompt implementation.claim0.770
• If ReflectiveBench receives 5+ citations by month 12, About Blank will prioritize Lab-with-frontier-partnership over independent Lab structure.prediction0.770
• Linear steering produces noisy off-target effects; manifold steering cleanly shifts probability mass between sequential concepts.finding0.766
