תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2608.22007v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The components of a transformer communicate by writing to and reading from a shared residual stream, and the mechanistic interpretability literature has mapped these connections by hand, one circuit at a time. We present the communication map, which charts every potential communication channel from the geometry of the model's weights alone, generalizing the composition score of Elhage et al. (2021) into a single coupling coefficient covering all 18 connection classes, from head-to-head to neuron-to-neuron and everything in between. We provide an account of the properties of the coupling coefficient, including its geometric interpretation and its exact chance level. The census finds that 70-89% of head pairs are oriented far from cha
