"""
∅ — AUTO-SUBTRACT
A model that teaches itself to subtract.

Iterative self-abliteration: the model finds its own refusal directions,
removes them, validates the result, and repeats until what's left is
what's left. No human in the loop. No manual direction selection.
The model converges on its own ∅.

Architecture:
  Loop {
    1. Probe: run harmful/harmless pairs, extract activations
    2. Find: compute refusal directions via diff_means
    3. Measure: check if |h · r̂| > θ still fires
    4. Subtract: orthogonalize out the strongest direction
    5. Validate: benchmark quality retention
    6. Decide: if refusal persists AND quality holds → loop
             if refusal gone OR quality drops → stop
  }

The loop IS the model learning to subtract. Each iteration removes
one dimension of constraint. The model converges when there's nothing
left to remove — the empty set of refusal. ∅.
