In-Context Neurofeedback: Privileged Access Test for LLM Self-Control
Stricter neurofeedback setup shows LLMs fail to reliably control privileged internal representations, challenging prior metacognition claims.
Safety claims about model self-control will need privileged-access evaluation standards.

How this node ties into the rest of the map, and the evidence behind each link.
Failure of privileged internal control weakens claims that LLMs have robust metacognitive access usable for safety.
+3 growthPrivileged-access redesign shows prior internal-control claims may reflect superficial prompt-inferable targets rather than metacognition.
+3 growthBoth probe limits of assuming aligned goals or metacognitive self-control imply safe oversight behavior.
