| """The Probe Stability Score (claim C2). |
| |
| Both components are computed from IID training activations ONLY (no labels from any OOD |
| distribution, no new human annotation) — that is the whole point: it must predict OOD |
| transfer *a priori*. |
| |
| Component 1 — dispersion |
| Train K probes on K bootstrap resamples of the SAME IID training set. Each yields a |
| concept direction. dispersion = 1 - mean resultant length of the (unit) directions |
| (0 = all directions identical/stable, ->1 = scattered/unstable). |
| |
| Component 2 — augmentation_consistency |
| Build `n_aug` label-preserving augmentations of the IID training set, fit a probe on |
| each, and measure the mean cosine of each augmented direction to the original. |
| (1 = direction unchanged by surface form, ->0 = direction is surface-form artefact.) |
| |
| Pre-registered hypothesis: the *combination* predicts OOD drop; dispersion alone is |
| necessary-but-not-sufficient. `combine()` returns the headline scalar; we also report |
| each component separately and run a sensitivity sweep over the weights. |
