arXiv:2607. 20449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are trained predominantly on human-authored text, yet the structural and narrative conventions embedded in that text are rarely examined as a source of systematic behavioral influence, or as a governance risk in deployed systems.

arXiv:2605. 09159v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work shows that large language models (LLMs) encode behavioral traits ("personas") as linear directions in activation space, often called "persona vectors".

arXiv:2607. 00918v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive creative fiction generation, they struggle to maintain narrative consistency and coherent plot lines in long-form stories.

arXiv:2606. 05553v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Role-playing language agents (RPLAs) should play characters whose values and behavior evolve as the story progresses, not maintain a fixed persona.

arXiv:2607. 13162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone.
