"or" in either-or choices

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "or" when the sentence offers two alternatives, like "true or false", "whether it is X or not" or "one way or another". Turned up, the model started repeating "not not not".

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.
