Predictive Memory Localization: Forecasting Selective Intervention Paths from Internal Signals
Excerpt
arXiv:2608.12892v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Activation steering turns localized representations into control directions, but localization alone does not reveal whether a direction has a selective operating regime. We introduce Predictive Memory Localization (PML), which treats the measured-grid intervention path as the predictive object of memory localization. PML separates random-calibrated target movement from semantic-neighbor and capability damage, and compares static localization an
