'of' after abstract nouns

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'of' when it follows an abstract noun like 'viability', 'role' or 'popularity', as in 'the role of'. It switches off, and even goes negative, on 'of' in names like 'Party of Michigan' or body parts like 'muscle of the heart'. Turning it up made the model's writing drift into long, wordy questions and problem statements, which doesn't clearly relate to the trigger.

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

2. #2 peak

   internal P load is a direct method, making it a valuable tool for lake management and restoration.⏎Laboratory incubations of sediment cores can help determine the relative importance of internal vs. external P loads, as well as be used to answer a variety

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.

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.
