Toy-Transformer Attribution Replay
Records which model features drove an answer, each tied to checkable evidence.
Contract
Does This takes the workflow of "tracing which internal features inside a model drove an answer" and turns it into inspectable local records. Each row links feature ids to a machine-readable graph of connections, records the before/after results of poking those features (the causal-intervention deltas), notes how far the explanation can be trusted (its faithfulness limit), and points to where the underlying evidence lives. The records show that every interpretability claim is backed by checkable evidence, and that they deliberately hold no model weights, no raw activations, no prompts, and no hidden reasoning — they carry only refs, digests, counts, and verdicts.
Scope limit It validates only the declared public circuit-attribution runtime-result record contract. It excludes model-transparency product claims, live model access, export of private weights/raw activations/proprietary prompts/hidden chain-of-thought, external model access, benchmark claims, or public sharing/launch.
