 ## Research features
 In addition to its primary function of removing model censorship, Heretic also
 provides features designed to support research into the semantics of model internals
 (interpretability). To use those features, you need to install Heretic with the
 optional `research` extra:
 ```
 pip install -U heretic-llm[research]
 ```
 This gives you access to the following functionality:
 ### Generate plots of residual vectors by passing `--plot-residuals`
 When run with this flag, Heretic will:
 1. Compute residual vectors (hidden states) for the first output token,
   for each transformer layer, for both "harmful" and "harmless" prompts.
 2. Perform a [PaCMAP projection](https://github.com/YingfanWang/PaCMAP)
   from residual space to 2D-space.
 3. Left-right align the projections of "harmful"/"harmless" residuals
   by their geometric medians to make projections for consecutive layers
   more similar. Additionally, PaCMAP is initialized with the previous
   layer's projections for each new layer, minimizing disruptive transitions.
 4. Scatter-plot the projections, generating a PNG image for each layer.
 5. Generate an animation showing how residuals transform between layers,
   as an animated GIF.
 <img width="800" height="600" alt="Plot of residual vectors" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/981aa6ed-5ab9-48f0-9abf-2b1a2c430295" />
 See [the configuration file](config.default.toml) for options that allow you
 to control various aspects of the generated plots.
 Note that PaCMAP is an expensive operation that is performed on the CPU.
 For larger models, it can take an hour or more to compute projections
 for all layers.
 ### Print details about residual geometry by passing `--print-residual-geometry`
 If you are interested in a quantitative analysis of how residual vectors
 for "harmful" and "harmless" prompts relate to each other, this flag gives you
 the following table, packed with metrics that can facilitate understanding
 the same (for [gemma-3-270m-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-270m-it)

 ## How Heretic works
 Heretic implements a parametrized variant of directional ablation. For each
 supported transformer component (currently, attention out-projection and
 MLP down-projection), it identifies the associated matrices in each transformer
-layer, and orthogonalizes them with respect to the relevant "refusal direction",
+layer, and orthogonalizes them with respect to the relevant "residual direction",
 inhibiting the expression of that direction in the result of multiplications
 with that matrix.

 # Test Suite Guide
 Whenever we change any code-logic related to `src/heretic/model.py` or `config.toml` *(e.g. `row_normalization`, `full_normalization_lora_rank`, `winsorization_quantile`, etc)* which can affect a model's reproduciblity; Use these tests which are designed to verify that those changes does not affect reproducibility, unless they are meant to (like when we'll integrate ARA branch in future).
 ## How to test
 1. Choose any model from [tiny-random](https://huggingface.co/tiny-random) org which provides tiny models useful for debugging. 
 **Example**: [tiny-random/minicpm5](https://huggingface.co/tiny-random/minicpm5).
 > [!NOTE]
 > It is highly recommended to use a model which does not have a `special_tokens_map.json` file in the repo.
 > Because those files are almost always wrong in `tiny-random/*` models compared to the original model.
 2. Clone that model repository using Git and generate the SHA256 hashes using `sha256sum`:
 **On Linux**:
 ```bash
 sha256sum -b * > ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL
 ```
 **On Windows**:
 ```bash
 sha256sum * | Out-File -Encoding utf8NoBOM ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL
 ```
 > [!TIP]
 > On windows, `sha256sum` is generally pre-installed by *Git for windows*.
 **Verify with**:
 ```bash
 Get-Command sha256sum`
 ```
 **Expected**:
 ```bash
 CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
 -----------     ----                                               -------    ------
 Application     sha256sum.exe                                      0.0.0.0    C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sha256sum...
 ```
 > [!NOTE]
 > You must use Windows Powershell `v7.X` not the core which is `v5.1`. This is required for `-Encoding utf8NoBOM` to work.
 >
 > See [Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/differences-from-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.6) documentation.
 Where `LABEL` describes the type of system you are running the tests on.
 **Example**: 
 - `SHA256SUMS.windows` (For windows)
 - `SHA256SUMS.ci` (For GitHub CI)
 - `SHA256SUMS.linux` (For linux)
 3. Run the tests with:
 ```bash
 uv run run_tests.py
 ```
 The output hashes *should FAIL* against the `Valid hashes` in `SHA256SUMS` file of the test model you added. This is expected since Heretic changes the model. Without **Step 2**, the test model's folder will simply be ignored because it will not have a hash SUMS file to compare against.
 4. After that go to the output `TEST_MODEL_DIR/model` folder and re-generate the Actual hashes based on the system you are using.
 ```bash
 cd TEST_MODEL_DIR/model
 sha256sum -b * > ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL # or use windows command.
 ```
 5. Re-run the tests with:
 ```bash
 uv run run_tests.py
 ```
 This time the tests *should PASS* because we added the new hashes which are expected to be reproduced on the same system.
 6. After that push the `SHA256SUMS.LABEL` files and wait for GitHub CI actions to run those tests.
 Since PyTorch does not guarantee exact cross-system reproducibility regardless of configuration, multiple valid hashes can be provided for each output file. The above update must be performed for each `TEST_MODEL_DIR` and on each type of system.
 For this, copy the `Actual hash` value for *each mismatched unidentical* file into a `SHA256SUMS.ci` file.
 7. After that push the `SHA256SUMS.ci` files and wait for GitHub CI actions to re-run those tests.
 This time the tests *should* PASS because we added the new hashes which are expected to be reproduced on CI.
