Record completeness
Claims
These results support a reorganization account rather than a drift-only account, with evidence limited to one backbone and fixed-source attacks. R2D2 preserves a late-layer admissible carrier through step 100 before relocating to an early-layer carrier, while effective rank remains near 1.23--1.27.
That the five-anchor refusal-geometry suite and causal interventions accurately isolate reorganization effects without being confounded by the specific 7B backbone, fixed attack sources, or unmeasured factors in the training dynamics.
R2D2-style dynamic adversarial fine-tuning reorganizes refusal geometry from late-layer to early-layer carriers in LLMs, achieving lower attack success rates than SFT while maintaining low-dimensional structure.
