Observations (2)

Six Ekman emotion vectors in vision-language models have a low-dimensional geometry (PC1+PC2 explain 55-75% of variance), and a Procrustes-aligned consensus emotion subspace across three VLMs retains selective steering and transfers to held-out Gemma-3

A diff-in-means misalignment direction transfers cross-architecture but non-specifically
