'the' after a verb or preposition

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'the' when it comes right after a verb or preposition and leads into an abstract idea, as in 'beyond the limits', 'grappled with the significance' or 'belief in the dignity'. It is pushed the other way inside lists and tables. Steering had no clear visible effect, and the outputs went in different directions.

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Which neurons in earlier layers feed this one, and which later ones it feeds. Amber links excite, blue links suppress; longer bars are stronger.
