ATTENTION IS NOT EVIDENCE
p5.js connecting

Move the query. Watch meaning bend.

The source asks readers to infer a timeline from a repeated phrase. Explore a transparent toy transformer layer, then separate association from the dated evidence that could actually verify the claim.

The visual runtime could not load. The evidence lesson remains: attention weights show association, not chronology.

MISSION: EXPLORE 3 QUERY TOKENS

Which words pull together?

Select a token. The arcs will recompute from its query vector to every key vector.

ACTIVE QUERYAttention
1 of 3 distinct queries explored

A strong link is not a dated source.

WHAT THE MAP COMPUTES

Each arc is a normalized similarity between one query vector and the visible key vectors. Change the query and the distribution changes.

score(q,k) = q dot k / sqrt(3)
weight = softmax(score)

weight != truth
weight != chronology

Transfer the lesson.

The map can surface relationships inside the sentence. What would you need to verify that the quoted phrase appeared in a book ten years earlier?
