The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our findings indicate that the resolution of ambiguous concepts is governed principally by self-attention layers, identifying them as the most effective point for intervention.

C2weakest assumption

That the probing-based localization technique identifies layers responsible for implicit decisions separately from explicit prompt conditioning, and that interventions on these layers causally affect the generative choices without major unintended effects.

C3one line summary

Implicit generative choices in diffusion models for ambiguous prompts are localized principally in self-attention layers, enabling a targeted ICM steering method that outperforms prior debiasing approaches.
