Persona Without Substrate: Regime-Dependence and the LLM Individuation Problem

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 00006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Beckmann & Butlin's (2026) ontological framework for the LLM individuation problem inherits an unargued cross-regime co-reference assumption from the persona-vectors literature: that the same direction picks out the same content under prompt-conditioning, gradient-descent fine-tuning, and inference-time steering.

Steering grids for sparse-autoencoder features: when a top-context label names an activation regime rather than a causal axis

arXiv:2605. 03160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The standard protocol for interpreting sparse-autoencoder (SAE) features labels each feature from its top-activating contexts and validates the label by steering that single feature at a typical magnitude.
