📝 Abstract
Neural networks can leverage feature superposition to encode more concepts than dimensions, but cross-feature interference constrains the linear accessibility of simultaneously active features. By framing linear accessibility as a compressed sensing problem, we derive high-probability bounds for fixed supports under subgaussian noise, proving the sufficient dimension scales linearly ($d=O_{\varepsilon}(k \log m)$) rather than prior worst-case quadratic limits. We then validate these bounds across system parameters through Gaussian-tail approximations. These results quantify the geometric constraints of the linear representation hypothesis, providing a framework for evaluating sparse autoencoders, compositional generalization, and neural interpretability.
