- Neural representation geometry causally shapes behavior; interventions respecting that geometry will yield natural trajectories.hypothesis0.799Central hypothesis tested via manifold steering experiments across language models and video world models.
- Extension of manifold steering validation to video world models and physical dynamics tasks, demonstrating cross-modal generality
- Core interpretive assertion: geometric structure is causally load-bearing, not epiphenomenal.
- Central empirical claim of the paper, demonstrated across tasks and modalities
- The paper's finding that the alignment holds in both directions — from representation to behavior and from behavior back to representation space.
- The manifold structure of model outputs, modelled by M_y.
