DRCT: black-box reconstruction & invented concepts / Documentation
DRCT Black-Box Transformer Stress Test v6
The archived source is available to read.
Read the source01 / THE QUESTION
Editorial guideHow much of a small trained transformer can be reconstructed from next-token logit queries alone, without access to its parameters?
02 / WHAT THE RECORD SAYS
Source passageTherefore the resulting lookup clone is an exhaustive functional reconstruction on this finite domain, not a sampled approximation.
03 / LIMITS & OPEN POINTS
Source passageThis demonstrates why black-box behavior cannot uniquely identify raw internal weights without quotienting parameter symmetries.
04 / THE NEXT QUESTION
Editorial guideWhat experimental access beyond logits, such as component interventions or module probes, would make internal operators identifiable?
05 / CHECKS IN THE RECORD
Source passageA trained two-head causal transformer was hidden behind a logit-query oracle.
