What is recorded here?
Uses corruption and restoration of internal activations to locate factual-recall pathways, then applies a constrained rank-one MLP update; CounterFact tests edited facts, paraphrases and nearby associations.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The localized-memory picture is a tested hypothesis for the studied GPT models, not a universal theorem. Rank-one associative-memory algebra inherits earlier work; single-edit success does not guarantee long-run consistency or zero collateral changes.
