Geometric Attention: A Regime-Explicit Operator Semantics for Transformer Attention

arXiv:2601. 11618v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Geometric Attention (GA) specifies an attention layer by four independent inputs: a finite carrier (what indices are addressable), an evidence-kernel rule (how masked proto-scores and a link induce nonnegative weights), a probe family (which observables are treated as admissible), and an anchor/update rule (which representative kernel is selected and how it is applied).

Self-Attention as Transport: Limits of Symmetric Spectral Diagnostics

arXiv:2605. 04893v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: When a language model processes a hallucinated response, its attention routing tends to fail in one of two shapes: over-concentrating on a narrow set of positions, or spreading so diffusely that relevance is diluted, and the shape of the failure carries diagnostic signal.
