Gradient-ascent causal influence map: toilet → bathroom across layers.
Idea
────
Using the trained attention sequence probes (SequenceLayerProbes) for *toilet*
and *bathroom*, ask: if we nudge the residual stream at layer ``l`` in the direction
that increases the *toilet* readout, how much does the *bathroom* readout change at
every downstream layer ``l' >= l``?
Per image (run on TOILET-ONLY images: toilet=1 & bathroom=0):
1. Generate a caption, forced-forward, capture resid_post at all layers; slice to
the generated-caption tokens (the positions the probe pools over).
2. score_bath_l(h_l): bathroom probe at layer l over the caption sequence (scalar).
3. g = ∂ score_toilet_l / ∂ h_l (gradient w.r.t. the layer-l caption activations;
this is local to the probe — no model backward needed), normalized by its total
magnitude: ĝ = g / ‖g‖ (single Frobenius norm over the whole (T, d_model) tensor).
4. Intervene: h_l' = h_l + alpha * ‖h_l‖ * ĝ (gradient ascent along the unit toilet
direction, step scaled by the caption-block residual norm ‖h_l‖ so alpha is a
*fraction* of residual magnitude — comparable across layers, since later layers have
much larger ‖h_l‖ and a raw fixed step would be relatively tiny there).
5. Forward with h_l patched; read bathroom score at every layer l' >= l:
delta[l, l'] = score_bathroom_l'(intervened) - score_bathroom_l'(baseline) (NOT /alpha)
6. Average over images → heatmap (intervention layer l × readout layer l').
A positive band above the diagonal = pushing toilet-ness at l causally raises the
bathroom readout downstream → evidence for a toilet→bathroom mechanism.
Saves: heatmap PNG + the raw (L, L) matrix as JSON.
