'the' after 'of' in noun phrases

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'the' when it follows 'of' in phrases like 'the nature of the', 'the severity of the' or 'the price of the'. It is most active in those phrases and is pushed the other way by 'the' after verbs or prepositions such as 'allows for the' or 'requiring the'. Turning it up did not clearly change the text.

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.

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.
