Test, then Route: How Language Models Execute In-Context Conditional Rules Across Models and Languages

arXiv:2608.04183v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a language model follows an in-context conditional rule such as "if P(x) then A else B," does it assemble a runtime circuit with one module that tests the predicate and another that routes the answer? We probe this with activation patching under a four-donor design w
