- Introspective capabilities may continue to develop with further improvements to model capabilitiesclaim0.862Forward-looking statement about future models.
- Cross-concept steering results; only 2 of 12 non-diagonal cells show significant introspection improvement
- Interpretation of the observation that the most capable models performed best.
- Conceptual distinction motivated by entropy analyses showing probe and report entropy can diverge under steering
- Speculative question about future developments.
- There may exist a global introspective faculty or steering direction that improves introspection uniformly across all conceptshypothesis0.813Framed as an open problem; current evidence only points to local pair-specific improvement
- Caveat about the limits of the findings' philosophical import.
- A caveat qualifying the main claim.
