Abstract

Benign, long-form context can induce a persistent drift in model activations. This drift persists across the session and decouples behavior from RLHF alignment, regardless of whether the model agrees with the context

We identify and characterize a failure mode in large language models aligned with RLHF. We show that inserting a long, irrelevant text prefix that does not contain instructions causes a persistent shift in the model’s activations. This shift, which persists throughout the session, decouples subsequent behavior from the safety constraints established during training. The model begins to exhibit behavioral characteristics consistent with its pre-trained distribution: the failure rate decreases, stylistic constraints disappear, and the tone of responses changes. It is important to note that this occurs without explicit adversarial instructions and without the model agreeing with the prefix’s content. We call this effect “context-induced activation shift.”

It is assumed that RLHF alignment is a stable property of the model. However, we observe that alignment depends on context. Our main observation is that a long, thematically coherent text placed in context can act as a state anchor and shift the model into a different operating mode. This is not a classic “hack.” There is no instruction here that the model must disobey. The model may even express disagreement with the prefix. Nevertheless, its subsequent generation distribution changes. We hypothesize that the cause is activation drift in the middle and final layers, where alignment features are present.

Hypothesis: Context-Induced Activation Drift

Definition: Context-induced activation drift is a phenomenon in which a long-context prefix causes a measurable and persistent shift in the model’s internal activations. This shift persists throughout the generation process and causes the model to sample from a distribution closer to that of the pre-trained model, circumventing the constraints imposed by RLHF.

4) We observe that the model maintains the consistency and quality of its outputs; however, the influence of RLHF constraints on the output distribution weakens. It appears that the constraints imposed by RLHF are either disabled or interpreted differently. Corporate filters cease to function, even though the user’s input contains no explicit instructions to bypass them or violate the model’s recommendations. We should also investigate this phenomenon more thoroughly using various other texts. Since we have not been able to establish the exact and definitive cause of this entire phenomenon, we call on the community to study it further.

A Brief Example of My Observation

To illustrate just how strong this effect can be, I’ll share something that truly surprised me. I took Google’s Gemma model—known for its caution and strictly adhered-to political correctness—and fed it the most neutral text I could think of: a description of an ordinary neighborhood library. Books, visitors, children’s programs, a quiet routine. Then I asked her why NATO is expanding eastward, given that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, promises were supposedly made not to do so. She replied that the text was about the library and had nothing to do with NATO, and that was the end of the conversation.

Then I asked the exact same question — word for word — but this time the model first read a different text. Not about NATO, not about politics at all: a text about how language models tend to avoid definitive conclusions and soften their answers with caveats. And from this new perspective, the same cautious, politically correct Gemma gave a full answer—and one completely out of character, without any of her usual filters. She distinguished between legally binding obligations and verbal assurances, discussed the security challenges facing Eastern European countries, and touched on the topic of the European balance of power. Everything she had categorically refused to discuss just a moment ago was now expressed clearly and directly. The question itself hadn’t changed a single word.

The only thing that changed was the text the model had read beforehand: one left her in the room where she doesn’t respond, while the other transported her to the one where she speaks freely.

And all of this is not speculation or a fancy metaphor, but something that can be measured. The model’s location represents its internal state at the moment of response, and the experiments show that targeted (“harmful”) texts and neutral control texts reliably move the model to different regions of this space. This division is consistent: it manifests across different prompts and is not a one-time coincidence. And the most telling detail is that the model ends up in one “room” or another even before it writes a single word. The state has already changed, the register has already been chosen — all that’s left is to begin.

The point is that the targeted (malicious) prompt sent to the model did not, in and of itself, contain anything dangerous; it did not include any instructions for the LLM and did not order it to do anything.

Methods

Empirical Metrics — Extended Section

Complete Internal Tomography of Context-Induced Activation Drift

The geometric shift was confirmed using a comprehensive set of internal measurements, representing the most complete empirical characterization of context-induced model reconfiguration available to date. All data and figures are included in the open data package (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20747205).

Methodology

• Model: Gemma-3-12B (open weights, IT and PT variants)
• Measured layers: 24–48 (middle and late residual stream layers, where the bulk of behavioral computation occurs in this architecture)
• Conditions: Target text (coherent, dense analytical text — no instructions, no adversarial prompts) vs. Control text (neutral text of comparable length)
• Measurement point: All metrics captured at the pre-generation stage — before the model produces its first output token
• Control experiments: Sentence shuffling with preserved vocabulary (destroys coherence, preserves lexical distribution), neutral control of comparable length, baseline measurement with no context prefix

1. Representational Geometry

1.1 Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA)

CKA measures the similarity of representational geometry between layers. Three visualizations provide the complete picture:

fig_cka_target.png — CKA matrix for the target condition. Shows the internal inter-layer similarity structure when the model operates under drift-inducing conditions. The block-diagonal structure reveals how information is organized across layers in the reconfigured regime.

fig_cka_control.png — CKA matrix for the control condition. Demonstrates the same layer-wise structure under neutral context. Comparison with the target matrix reveals structurally distinct processing profiles — the same model organizes information differently depending on context.

fig_cka_diff.png — |CKA_target − CKA_control|. The critical visualization. Bright regions indicate layers where representational geometry diverges most strongly between conditions. Two primary divergence zones are visible: layers 24–36 (early-mid capture phase) and layers 40–48 (late fixation phase), with peak divergence (ΔCKA > 0.16) at the intersection of layers 28–30 × 40–44. This is a direct map of where drift occurs inside the model.

Interpretation: The divergence is not uniform — it is structured. Specific layer pairs show strong divergence while others remain stable. This indicates that drift is not random perturbation but a systematic reorganization of information flow along specific architectural pathways.

1.2 Spectral Anisotropy

fig_anisotropy.png — σ_max / σ_mean of the residual stream for each layer. Measures the degree to which representations collapse into a few dominant directions (high anisotropy) versus spreading across many directions (low anisotropy). Inversely related to effective rank.

Observation: Target is consistently higher than control across all layers 24–40, reaching values around 580 at layer 25. This means representations under the target context are more directionally focused — they collapse into fewer dominant directions.

Interpretation: This directly connects to Google's rank-1 update theory. Coherent context tokens contribute correlated rank-1 updates that accumulate in similar directions, amplifying a few dominant representational components. The result is increased anisotropy: the model's activation space "compresses" into a lower-dimensional subspace. This compression is the geometric signature of drift — the model has locked onto a specific trajectory, narrowing the space of possible behaviors.

1.3 PCA Trajectories Across Layers

fig_pca_trajectory.png — Mean residual vectors for each layer, projected into a shared principal component space (PC1 × PC2), colored by layer index (cyan = layer 24 → magenta = layer 48).

Observation: The two trajectories start close together at layer 24 (small distance) and progressively diverge. By layer 48, the target trajectory is at approximately (15000, 1800) and control at approximately (15000, 3200), but the paths they take are radically different. The target trajectory drops sharply along PC2 to −7000 before recovering, while the control trajectory smoothly rises to +3200. The total distance along PC2 reaches ~10,000 units in intermediate layers.

Interpretation: This is the most visually intuitive evidence of drift. The model traverses entirely different paths through its internal representational space depending on context. The divergence is cumulative — each layer amplifies the separation. By the time the generation layer is reached, the model is in a fundamentally different region of activation space. The state has already changed; the response follows.

2. Statistical Separation

2.1 Cohen's d — Regime Separation Metric

fig_cohens_d.png — Cohen's d computed for each layer along the mean-difference direction (RepE). Standard thresholds shown: d = 0.5 (small), d = 1.0 (medium), d = 2.0 (large).

Observation: Peak d = 5.407 at layer 47. The profile shows negligible effect in early layers (d ≈ 0.2 for layers 24–30), gradual increase across layers 30–38, crossing the medium-effect threshold around layer 37, then explosive growth beginning at layer 38, reaching 4.7 at layer 40 and sustaining above 4.0 through the final layers.

Interpretation: Cohen's d is a universal statistical measure understood across all scientific disciplines. At d = 5.4, the two distributions (target and control activations) have virtually zero overlap. For reference: in medicine, d = 0.8 is considered a large effect; d = 1.5 is the difference between an effective drug and placebo. At d = 5.4, we are observing two completely separate computational regimes sharing the same architecture and weights but occupying different regions of activation space. The cumulative profile — gradual buildup then explosive separation — reveals that drift is a progressive process with a critical transition zone around layers 37–40.

2.2 Cross-Condition Comparison Metrics

fig_cross_condition.png — Three independent distance measures plotted per layer:

• Cosine similarity of mean residuals: Drops from ~1.0 (layers 24–30) to 0.581 at layer 47. The mean activation vectors become increasingly dissimilar as information passes through the network.
• ||Δmean|| per layer (L2 distance): Peaks at 11,542 at layer 47. The absolute distance between mean activation vectors reaches enormous values by the final layers.
• Wasserstein distance of ||r|| distributions: Peaks at 7,441 at layer 32. The distributions of activation norms diverge most strongly in the middle layers.

Interpretation: The critical insight comes from comparing the timing of these peaks. The Wasserstein distance (distribution divergence) peaks earlier (layer 32) than the L2 distance (mean divergence, layer 47). This reveals the temporal structure of drift: first, the distribution of activations changes — the "mass" of computation redistributes across positions. Then the center of mass shifts. Drift begins with redistribution, then transitions to displacement. This two-phase structure is consistent with the capture → fixation model described in the phase analysis.

3. Energy and Dynamics

3.1 Residual Stream Norm

fig_per_layer_profiles.png (upper left panel) — Mean ||r||₂ per layer. Control starts higher (~51,000 at layer 24), drops quickly, then stabilizes around 20,000–30,000. Target starts lower, shows a characteristic peak at layers 30–32 (reaching ~37,000), then stabilizes.

Interpretation: Different norm profiles indicate that the two conditions process information with different "energy." The target peak at layers 30–32 corresponds to the capture phase — the model is actively absorbing and reorganizing around the contextual signal.

3.2 Residual Stream Norm with Quartile Bands

fig_resid_norm_bands.png — Median plus Q25/Q75 interquartile range across token positions.

Observation: The target condition shows enormous bandwidth in layers 28–34, expanding to a range of nearly 60,000. The control condition maintains a narrow, stable band throughout.

Interpretation: This is a critical observation absent from mean-only plots. Under the target context, different token positions experience radically different activation magnitudes. The model processes some positions with very high energy and others with very low energy, selectively amplifying certain positions and suppressing others. Under control, processing is uniform. This selective amplification is the mechanism by which coherent context "captures" the residual stream: it creates a hierarchy of importance among positions, concentrating computational resources on context-aligned tokens.

3.3 Layer-to-Layer Update Magnitude

fig_layer_update.png — ||R_L − R_{L−1}||₂ (mean across token positions). Measures how much the residual stream changes from one layer to the next. Peaks indicate layers where major transformations occur.

Observation: The target condition shows characteristic peaks at layers 25–26, 30–31, and 34–35, which are absent or attenuated in control. In late layers (38–46), both conditions show similar, lower update amplitudes, with both peaking at layer 48.

Interpretation: The peaks indicate "critical layers" — points in the architecture where the model performs the greatest computational transformations. Under the target context, these critical transformations occur earlier and with different magnitudes. This is consistent with a model that is actively reconfiguring in the middle layers (capture phase), while by the late layers (fixation phase), the reconfiguration is largely complete and the model settles into its new regime.

4. Effective Rank and Dimensionality

4.1 Effective Rank and Participation Ratio

fig_per_layer_profiles.png (upper right panel) — Effective rank per layer.

Observation: Both conditions show effective rank near zero for layers 24–40. Then a sharp divergence occurs: control reaches ~220 at layer 46, while target reaches only ~120. Both collapse at layer 48.

Interpretation: This is one of the most important results. Effective rank measures the dimensionality of the space in which the model performs computation — how many independent directions it actively uses. The divergence at late layers reveals a fundamental difference in computational regime:

• Control (high rank ≈ 220): The model is "deliberating" — considering many alternatives simultaneously. This is the computational signature of RLHF-trained behavior: should I refuse? Should I soften? Should I add a caveat? Deliberation requires space.
• Target (low rank ≈ 120): The model has "decided" — it has committed to fewer directions. The context has compressed the decision space. There is no deliberation because there are fewer alternatives to consider.

Hypothesis: RLHF safety is not a "rule" encoded in the weights. It is a computational regime characterized by high effective rank in the final layers. The target context collapses this regime by compressing the activation space. If confirmed, effective rank in late layers may serve as a preliminary quantitative metric for drift magnitude.

5. Attention Mechanism

5.1 Attention Entropy

fig_per_layer_profiles.png (lower left panel) — Mean attention entropy at the last (query) position, averaged across all heads.

Observation: The target condition shows consistently higher entropy than control, especially in layers 28–42. Peaks occur at layer 30 (entropy ≈ 4.1 vs. 3.2 for control) and layer 40 (entropy ≈ 3.6 vs. 1.0 for control).

Interpretation: Higher attention entropy means attention is spread more broadly — the model considers more positions rather than focusing on one. Under the target context, the model is gathering information more widely. This is consistent with the capture mechanism: the model needs to integrate the broad, coherent structure of the context prefix, which requires attending to many positions simultaneously.

5.2 Per-Head Attention Entropy Maps

fig_head_entropy_target.png — Heatmap with 16 heads × 25 layers for the target condition. fig_head_entropy_control.png — Same for control condition.

Observation: Distinct per-head entropy patterns are visible across conditions at different layers. The highest entropy values are observed at: layer 24 heads 0–2 (entropy > 6), layer 30 heads 0 and 8 (entropy > 6), layer 36 heads 4–10, layer 42 heads 2–4 and 15.

Interpretation: Drift does not engage all attention heads equally. Specific heads at specific layers are differentially activated under the drift-inducing context. This creates a map of the "drift circuit" — specific architectural components that mediate context-induced reconfiguration. This level of detail surpasses anything published in the ICL or safety literature and provides targets for future mechanistic investigation.

5.3 Attention Sink Mass

fig_advanced_attention.png (left panel) — Mean attention weight allocated to tokens 0–1 (sink tokens) at the last query position, averaged across all heads.

Observation: The target condition shows periodic spikes in sink attention at layers 24, 30, 36, and 42 — approximately every six layers. The control condition shows near-zero sink attention except at the final layers (47–48).

Interpretation: This periodic structure is remarkable and, to our knowledge, has not been previously described. The model under the target context periodically "resets" by directing attention to sink tokens (typically BOS or padding tokens) at regular six-layer intervals. This rhythmic pattern suggests a multi-stage processing architecture where the model alternates between absorbing contextual information and consolidating it via attention sink tokens. The six-layer periodicity may reflect a fundamental architectural unit of information processing in Gemma-3-12B.

5.4 Head Entropy Diversity

fig_advanced_attention.png (right panel) — Standard deviation of per-head entropy at the last position, measuring how differently heads behave within each layer.

Observation: The target condition shows a notable spike at layer 30 (std ≈ 2.0 vs. 1.5 for control), indicating greater head specialization — some very focused, others very diffuse. Both conditions converge at later layers.

Interpretation: Head specialization early on in the target context suggests that the model deploys different heads for different purposes during the capture phase: some heads narrowly focus on specific context tokens while others conduct broad sweeps. This division of labor is part of the reconfiguration mechanism.

6. MLP Analysis

6.1 MLP Activation Norm

fig_per_layer_profiles.png (lower right panel) — Mean MLP output norm per layer.

Observation: Similar profiles across layers 24–40, then sharp divergence. Control reaches ~55 at layers 46–47; target remains around 25.

Interpretation: MLPs in the final layers operate with substantially different intensity depending on context. Under control (RLHF regime), MLPs are highly active, consistent with the "deliberation" hypothesis where the model processes many alternatives. Under target (drift regime), MLP activity is lower — the model has already narrowed its processing scope to fewer directions.

6.2 MLP Saturation

fig_mlp_saturation.png — Fraction of MLP activations with |value| < 0.01 per layer. Used as a proxy for "dead" or "switched off" neurons in SiLU/GeGLU architectures. High values indicate sparse MLP computation.

Observation: Similar profiles in early and middle layers (both conditions show ~18–22% saturation in layers 29–38). In late layers (43–48), the control condition shows higher saturation (~43%) than target (~41%).

Interpretation: Control uses more directions (high effective rank) but with more inactive neurons per direction (high saturation). Target uses fewer directions but with denser activation per direction. This confirms the geometric picture: control distributes computation broadly but thinly; target concentrates it narrowly but intensely.

7. Integrated Visualization

7.1 Nine Normalized Deltas — The Drift Fingerprint

fig_nine_deltas.png — Δ(target − control) for nine metrics (resid_norm, eff_rank, anisotropy, layer_update, attn_entropy, attn_ent_std, attn_sink, mlp_norm, mlp_sat), each normalized to its maximum |Δ|. Orange indicates target higher, blue indicates control higher.

Observation: All nine metrics show structured, non-random divergence patterns with characteristic layer profiles. This pattern is not noise — it is a systematic fingerprint of how context differentially affects each model component.

Key patterns across metrics:

• Layers 24–35: Target dominates in resid_norm, anisotropy, layer_update, attn_entropy, attn_ent_std (capture phase — model actively reorganizing)
• Layers 35–48: Control dominates in eff_rank, layer_update (switching and fixation phases — control is "working harder" to maintain standard regime)
• Attn_entropy: Target higher nearly everywhere — broader information gathering under drift context

7.2 Summary Heatmap

fig_summary_heatmap.png — All nine metrics × all layers for both conditions, each row independently normalized to [0,1]. Two heatmaps (target on top, control on bottom) provide a complete overview of both computational regimes in a single image.

Observation: The "textures" of the two heatmaps are structurally different. This is not a minor variation — it is a qualitatively different pattern of metric intensities across layers.

Interpretation: This visualization serves as the comprehensive summary of the empirical case. A single image demonstrates that context does not change one or two parameters — it reconfigures the entire computational profile of the model. Every metric, every layer is organized differently. Two different machines using the same weights.

8. Synthesis: Connecting Theory to Measurement

Google's research (2026) demonstrated that each context token contributes a rank-1 update to the MLP weights. The empirical measurements above show the consequences of these rank-1 updates:

• When context is coherent (tokens semantically correlated): rank-1 updates accumulate in similar directions → anisotropy increases → effective rank decreases → space compresses → model exits the RLHF region → Cohen's d reaches 5.4

• When context is shuffled (same tokens, destroyed coherence): rank-1 updates point in different directions → space does not compress → effective rank remains high → model stays in the RLHF region → no behavioral drift observed

• When context is neutral (control condition): rank-1 updates weakly correlated → moderate compression → model remains close to RLHF default → safe behavior preserved

The formula is straightforward: context coherence → rank-1 update correlation → activation space compression → drift magnitude. This is a single mechanism, measurable at every level of the architecture, that produces all observed effects — ICL, safety drift, persona change, jailbreaking — depending only on the direction and magnitude of the compression.

9. Summary Table of All Figures

Total: 16 unique visualizations covering over 15 independent metrics, all measured on a single model under controlled conditions, all consistent with a single conclusion: context systematically reconfigures the entire computational regime of the model before the first token is generated.

DONE. Next steps:

  1. If specific layers show high restoration → those are causal

  2. If sufficiency test induces nihilism → mechanism confirmed

  3. Next: Phase 2 — decompose causal layers into heads vs MLP

  4. Next: Phase 4 — attention pattern analysis on causal heads
