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 figures are the best public anchor for where A(t) sits today [ 2 ] — and S(t) for the share of published interpretability results built on a method that has cleared an agreed, cross-lab benchmark rather than a proxy metric of the kind SAEBench found unreliable [ 10 ] . A regulator or a court asked to accept mechanistic evidence needs both a…
