'the' in 'on the other hand' phrases

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'the' in set phrases like 'on the other hand', 'on the one hand' and 'on the right'. When it was turned up, the model got stuck repeating the word 'one', which is the word the neuron seems to push toward.

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.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

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.
