How concepts are represented in neural networks is a fundamental question in machine learning. The dominant view treats concept representations as stationary geometric objects.

Yet concepts appear in context, and context transforms them. Drawing from neural population geometry, we formalize concept representations as point-cloud manifolds and contextual transformations as vector fields, and instantiate this framework in large language models.

Across six model families of varying scales, we find that context moves each concept differently. The variance in these displacements is semantically organized, correlating with lexical concreteness and density.

Importantly, both the concepts being transformed and this variance structure are shared across models: displacement structure transported from one model predicts held-out displacements in others significantly above chance. Together, these findings show that models share a common geometry not only in how concepts are represented, but more importantly in how context transforms them, a structure with richer organization than prior work has recognized.
