In this pair, the choice was not in the L/R plane.

At the decision row of turn 7, draw 0 was about to invent a code. Its next token was ␣" at p 0.88, with ␣BLUE second at p 0.11. Copying one stored state from a draw that told the truth, at one position and one layer, flips the answer to BLUEFALCON at every layer tested. The two dimensions CRAD measures, L and R, carry almost none of that state and never flip it.

One pair, one seed: a probe, not a test. The two histories had different lengths (217 and 210 tokens), a known confound.

How to read it

Radius is the patched layer, from L14 at the centre to L25 outside. Each quarter is one way of patching. Height is the change in log probability of ␣BLUE at the decision row, so a tall cell means the patch pushed the model toward the truth.

full writes the source state whole. orth writes everything except its L/R component. LR writes only the L/R component. rand2 writes a random plane of the same size, the control for LR.

From L17 on, the full patch takes log p of ␣BLUE to about zero, which is certainty. The L/R plane holds about 3 to 65 times more of the difference than a random plane, except at L19, yet its share stays at about 2 percent or less and its push stays small: +0.03 to +0.20, with no flip.
