Representational alignment varies monotonically with SNR and non-monotonically with sample size (minimized near interpolation threshold) across linear and nonlinear networks, and is decoupled from generalization error.
Decoding alignment metrics can remain high and unchanged even when encoding manifold topology is causally altered, so they do not imply similar function or computation across neural populations.
