Survey paper formalizes the Linear Representation Hypothesis (arXiv:2609.22695v1)
A new survey (arXiv:2609.22695v1) analyzes inconsistencies in how the "linear representation hypothesis" (LRH) has been used across AI, neuroscience, and cognitive science, arguing that prior work often lacks a falsifiable framing. The paper proposes a more rigorous formalization that makes dependencies on model, representation location, feature definition, and evaluation dataset explicit, and it identifies open problems for further research.
