It detects self-referential statements where the model talks about itself (first-person identity, creation, capabilities, or "my"/"I" statements).

The neuron detects emphatic or evaluative modifier words—strong adjectives and adverbs like “very,” “important,” “positive,” “negative,” etc.

structured, list-style formatting—especially numbered items with bolded headings, product/brand names, acronyms, and section dividers.

This neuron activates on copular or auxiliary “to be” verbs (is/are/will be/etc.), flagging statements that define or assert something.

tokens containing the letter “Z” (upper- or lowercase), especially when it appears at the start of names or terms.

The neuron fires strongly on genre labels—especially darker ones—such as “Horror,” “Mystery,” “dark,” or “scary.”

statements and headings that frame structured analysis or troubleshooting, signaling problem identification, core issues, challenges, breakdowns, and considerations.

Sections that present a problem-analysis and solution/troubleshooting advice (headings like “The Core Problem,” reasons, and what to do).

This neuron spots words and phrases that introduce or label problems—like “issue,” “breakdown,” “core problem,” or other signals that a difficulty is being explained.

strongly negative, complaint-style review language indicating dissatisfaction with a product, service, or experience.

first-person, autobiographical statements expressing personal experience, thoughts, or preferences within informal explanations or advice.

critical evaluations of media that call out contrivance or unrealistic, overly neat/predictable elements, often marked by intensifiers and evaluative qualifiers.

humorous, tongue-in-cheek content and references to comedy, including jokes, quips, puns, parody, and self-deprecating roasts.

finance-related terminology, especially around lending, underwriting, and credit risk/scoring.

statements expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge, such as noting information is unknown, unknowable, unclear, scarce, or not readily ascertainable.

first-person, conversational answer passages in interview-style text where the speaker explains, opines, or describes their process and experiences.

mentions of philosophy and philosophical inquiry, including discourse about studying, teaching, or discussing it.

formal disclaimer and limitation language that negates capabilities, promises, rights, or responsibilities (e.g., “will not,” “does not,” “only,” “cannot”)

technical or metadata-like tokens—acronyms, formal category/league labels, file/module paths, dates, and numerals typical of encyclopedic, legal, or programming text

first-person, in-the-moment narration that emphasizes immediate time and place (live reporting or present-tense diary-style updates).
