The passage around this formula
Whether interpretability evidence becomes admissible for a safety certification is not a third axis; it is what the other two jointly produce, and the joint requirement is a conjunction rather than an average. Write A(t) for the share of a frontier model’s decision-relevant behaviour with a validated, causally checked account — Circuit Tracing’s own…
