cross-sae β Interpretability: do vision transformers and the human visual cortex share the same features? Trains sparse autoencoders on both a ViT and human brain responses to the same images, then matches features across domains under false-discovery-rate control (Model-X knockoffs). The cross-domain feature match is an honest null at current SAE capacity β with a diagnostic (RSA Ο = 0.155, p = 0.0005) showing the shared structure is real and recoverable. Error-controlled, self-correcting empirical interpretability.
