Drift Mechanism Analysis — Qwen2.5
====================================
Three experiments to understand WHAT the probe is detecting.
Experiment A: Volatility vs Drift
Experiment B: Multi-year trajectory probing
Experiment C: Representation structure analysis
Uses cached hidden states. No model loading.
Usage:

If stats-only AUROC is high -> the CHANGE PATTERN itself is informative
If stats-only AUROC is low -> signal is in the representation not trajectory
C. REPRESENTATION STRUCTURE
