Interpretability discussion: superposition as recursive growth into adjacent concepts
moultano · x · 2026-10-17
In a discussion of an interpretability post, moultano offers his reading: the proposed mechanism is "superposition through recursive growing into surprisingly adjacent concepts" rather than packing features into uncorrelated space. Using the Colorado/tornado link to the word "ado", he suggests nodes sometimes drop intermediate links that formed the connection, much like physical tornadoes.
