Superposition theory holds that neurons are insufficient, so the network stuffs unrelated features into the same neuron; this theory was once the mainstream hypothesis in the interpretability field.

UnverifiedPolysemanticity refers to a single neuron in a neural network responding simultaneously to multiple unrelated features, making it difficult for researchers to clearly map internal network activations to specific concepts.77% similarUnverifiedNeural networks often exhibit 'it works but no one knows why,' making the transferability of their conclusions inherently weak—a method that works in one environment may completely fail in another.77% similarUnverifiedThe universal approximation theorem is a purely existential conclusion that guarantees the existence of an approximation scheme but provides no tight upper bound on the number of neurons required.73% similarUnverified神经网络更像是被'生长'出来的，而非被'设计'出来的73% similarUnverified机制可解释性领域面临的核心挑战是多义性（Polysemanticity）——单个神经元往往同时编码多种语义无关的概念72% similar
