A companion paper showed that a transformer's feed-forward layer can be rebuilt from explicit fuzzy set operations - intersection, set-difference, and a self-forgetting sequence quantifier - so its hidden units read as named logical operators at no cost to language-model quality. That left the other half of the transformer opaque.

arXiv:2607. 08946v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A transformer can be built from operators that are legible by construction -- bounded, named units that read as fuzzy set operations rather than dense activations -- but legibility must be pressed for during training, and the pressure has a failure mode.

arXiv:2603. 17019v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A central question in the debate over large language models is whether transformers can learn rules they have never seen, or whether they can only interpolate: predict new cases from their similarity to training examples.

arXiv:2608. 06243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models using automatically verifiable outcome signals, but these signals are typically sparse and at the sequence-level.
