'to' after come or bring

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'to' in phrases like 'came to be', 'come to see', and 'brought it to my attention', where a verb of arriving or bringing is followed by 'to'. Its negative side is 'to' in 'change to' or 'by' in 'replaced by', which are different uses. Turning it up gave text with no clear link to these phrases.

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.

1. #1 peak

   book, The Price of Privilege, Marilyn Levine tries to make sense of this trend: “When parents place an excessively high value on outstanding performance, children come to see anything less than perfection as failure. While most kids hang in there and try

3. #3 peak

   complexity of individuals relationships to the world they live in and the effects on individual health of pollution, poverty, and unhealthy social norms and values are ignored. People come to construe healthy behavior in terms of dependency on a medical industry that constantly invents

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.

2. #2 peak

   follow this rule (as in soliloquies).⏎Add -s to most nouns ending in -f.⏎Exceptions: In some cases, change the -f to -v and add -es⏎In compound words, make the main word plural

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.
