unclear: prepositions in science prose

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on small connecting words like 'in', 'of' and 'into' that sit between a noun and what comes after it, mostly in biology and genetics writing. Turning it up made the model's replies drift into random topics, so it doesn't show a clear effect on meaning.

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.

Activation histogram

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.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
