Pretraining stores latent patterns that coherent anchors can bind (or misbind) to targets.

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

  Working metaphor introducing the semantic anchoring intuition
• Pretraining plays a role analogous to unlabeled experience in humans — building P_prior before semantic binding — explaining why few labeled examples sufficeclaim0.828

  Scope-limiting claim clarifying UCCT's interpretation of what anchoring does
• Post-training steers models toward a particular region of persona space but only loosely tethers them to it, motivating work on training and steering strategies that more deeply anchor models to a coherent personaclaim0.768
