Researchers have introduced Coherentist Probabilistic Compositionalism (CPC), a new interpretive framework designed to provide a shared vocabulary for understanding how transformer computations function and compose across different tasks and architectures. CPC defines four operator roles: alignment, unification, suppression, and routing, to describe transformer mechanisms. The framework's effectiveness was validated across 15 models from five architecture families, where signatures of these operators correlated with measured roles, suggesting CPC's utility in comparing transformer mechanisms while acknowledging architecture-specific variations.
