"the" before a topic noun

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "the" in explanatory sentences about a subject, such as "the disease", "the tool" or "the practice", right where a topic noun is about to come. Turning it up made the model produce loops of "this", and turning it down made it repeat "the world".

Steering

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.

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.
