Deterministic Local Topology Capture for Gemma 4 31B-IT

Deterministic local topology capture on a bounded CPU surface.

What this proves

Gemma 4 31B-IT runs on a local CPU path on real weights. Hidden-state and topology capture are non-perturbing against a frozen compute baseline.

Canonical topology.v2 artifacts are emitted under a binary admission rule and reproduce bit-for-bit across independent capture runs.

One bounded observation is extracted from the attention-edge artifact as an illustration that the admitted surface is analyzable.

What this does not prove

Cross-device or cross-backend parity (browser, WebGPU, Metal).

Broad mechanistic-interpretability or causal claims about model internals.

Long-context or multi-token generalization beyond the bounded setups.

Claims about other model sizes, versions, or families.
