Post-intervention behavior in AI systems.

Mute Logic Lab studies how AI systems change behavior after safety layers, fine-tuning, and governance controls are applied.

Focus

Most AI work focuses on how to build systems. We focus on what systems become.

Context

Deployed AI systems operate in a permanent post-intervention state.

01 // Orientation

Interventions do not end behavior. They reshape it.

After controls are introduced, behavior fragments, relocates, camouflages, and drifts over time.

These post-intervention states are not side effects. They are the dominant operating condition of deployed systems.

Mute Logic Lab treats post-intervention behavior as a first-class engineering object.

We conduct field studies on open-source systems and with selected organizations.

03 // Outputs

What We Produce

  • Post-intervention pattern taxonomies and ontologies
  • Diagnostic methods and probing tools
  • Empirical case studies and growing pattern libraries

Outputs are used to make post-deployment risk legible—not to promise elimination, but to enable informed navigation.

04 // Methodology

How We Work

Core Probing

Controlled prompt probing and behavioral classification across model versions and configurations.

Analysis

Temporal drift analysis and comparison of documentation and localization against observed behavior.

Operating on open-source systems and with organizational partners.

Many high-cost AI failures do not originate at training time. They emerge after deployment.
