Temporal preference in Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 localizes to layers 17–35 (especially L24 attention), has curved residual-stream geometry, is behaviorally unstable, and can be bidirectionally steered.

A linear probe trained on 190k congressional tweets identifies a partisan direction in Llama 3.1 8B layer 18 that can be causally ablated or amplified to reverse or shift the model's political output.
Empirical test on real news histories shows unconstrained LLM reranking amplifies conspiratorial content exposure while prompt constraints can increase ideological diversity with limited relevance cost.
Early layers of language models predict early-pass human reading times better than surprisal, with surprisal superior for late-pass measures and strong variation by language.
A review synthesizing opinion dynamics research, categorizing models by macroscopic outcomes and microscopic mechanisms while connecting to empirical data and emerging AI tools.
