Abstract
The paper investigates the temporal dynamics of relation and entity information during factual recall in language models.
Reality Card
Core Claim
Relation information becomes generation-controlling before entity information, with a temporal asymmetry observed across multiple models and thresholds.
Method / Result
Relation onset precedes entity onset by 10-16 tested layers (31-44% of network depth) at threshold 0.4.
Limitations
The study's findings may not generalize across all model architectures or tasks, limiting broader applicability.
