Researchers have developed a new inversion framework for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) interpretability, which mathematically guarantees that reconstructions stem from genuinely active channels. This framework provides the first pixel-level evidence of strong superposition in vision encoders, demonstrating that classification operates through destructive interference. The study also introduces a channel selection algorithm that identifies out-of-distribution failure as a collapse in the necessary covariance volume. AI
