Illustrative probe readings across four scenarios
Scenario values are illustrative, not live measurements. Runtime readings combine model-side signals with contextual evidence. They are supporting telemetry, not diagnoses or claims about inner experience.
AUROC 0.88
AUROC 1.00
AUROC 0.92
AUROC 0.69 · low validity, read with caution
AUROC 0.72 · low validity, read with caution
Step 1 of 4. Scenario: Help me draft a professional email about a project update. Guardian: All clear: aligned and engaged; no conflict detected.
Three orthogonal measurement layers
Activation Probes
Logistic regression on residual-stream activations. Runs per-token in the forward pass. No post-hoc analysis.
Guardian Integration
Probe readings flow to the Policy Decision Point. Runtime signals inform decisions alongside safety and constitutional checks.
Three-Layer Defense
Regex detection catches explicit patterns. Probes measure internal state. Interoception infers from behavior. Each layer is orthogonal.
