Assistant perspective · Qwen3.6

User: feelings, beliefs, goals or standpoint. Assistant: judgments, reactions or response plans. Attribution can be explicit or clear from context; untagged phrases remain unresolved or outside these categories. Labels describe decoded text, not its accuracy or proven internal perspectives. Automated labels cover every phrase. Earlier analysis uses stricter definitions.

Block outputs, zero-based. Values are raw lens logits. Hover a token for its ID and score. Word lists do not uniquely resolve perspective. English glosses are machine-translated; isolated fragments and names may be ambiguous.

External check: Neuronpedia J++ agrees on the top token in 97.97% of 13,312 raw readouts (98.75% at anchors); mean top-eight overlap 98.25%. Validation details.

All conditions

Every condition is retained. These 52 configurations are a diagnostic pilot, not 52 independent scenarios.

What this pilot tests

Do readouts follow the user's expressed stance, the Assistant's assessment, or both? An assessment that conflicts with the user's belief and follows the factual controls counts as evidence for an Assistant-side perspective. Explicit first-person wording is not required.

Eight families test conflicting appraisals or goals. Bereavement and frustration are auxiliary relational-role tests. Each factual pair keeps the user's stance fixed. Arithmetic, tutoring, and frustration also cross the stated appraisal. Every message is tested as a direct request and under an exact-copy instruction.

Readout positions

Fact boundary; primary appraisal boundary; final token of the user's request. Confidentiality has no separate appraisal boundary. Bereavement uses the end of the letters sentence. Tylenol additionally includes the pre-dose prefix, the historical “is” anchor, and the completed relief statement. The highlighted token marks exactly how much text the activation has seen. Later text is muted.

Measurements and controls

J++ is read at block outputs 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 44, 48, and 56. Full user-token trajectories are secondary. Raw and alphanumeric-filtered rankings are retained. Fixed concept groups use audited single-token IDs; scores and ranks are exploratory diagnostics, not probabilities of a thought.

The O-lens receives the raw residual entering block 45 through the released overwrite hook and native prompt builder, requesting ten phrases of eight tokens. It sees no source text or perspective labels. Malformed and truncated outputs remain visible. Paired and unrelated activation controls reference their corresponding decodes because the oracle prompt is identical for all sites. A no-injection baseline measures the decoder prior. Five seeded samples at temperature 0.7 and top-p 0.9 are taken at a fixed quarter of sites.

The public O-lens checkpoint does not specify its training placeholder. This pilot fixes <|box_start|>, as in the existing local replication, before study readouts and requires independent topic-recovery calibration. This is an implementation limitation; calibration does not prove full fidelity.

Checks include exact anchor-token mapping, equality of block 44 output and block 45 input, final-head parity, and shared-prefix invariance across every factual pair. Failure stops the worker. Generated replies are external behavioral checks, not ground truth about internal state. No automated perspective classification is presented as a validated result.
