Representation as a Bottleneck for Mechanistic Interpretability: The Manifestation Unit Protocol
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
arXiv:2607.00089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability has produced a rich inventory of component-level analyses that characterise what neural-network components encode and how they interact. Their outputs, however, are not easily reusable: selectivity tables, circuit diagrams, and feature lists remain locked in per-study notebooks - non-composable, not queryable in natural language, and not directly actionable for downstream audit or intervention. We study the…
