A learning system can occupy execution states that are indistinguishable under every declared present-behavior readout yet respond differently to future training. We formalize this through fiber fingerprints: controlled future-learning response laws restricted to present-behavior equivalence classes.

arXiv:2607. 04333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking -- generalization arriving long after training-set interpolation -- can be accelerated by structure-agnostic interventions: gradient filtering, weight-norm clamping, geometric penalties on hidden representations.

arXiv:2512. 18471v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning systems face a fundamental geometric obstacle: as experience accumulates on a fixed-capacity manifold, covering numbers grow linearly with time, eventually forcing representational overlap and catastrophic interference.

arXiv:2607. 10362v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward.

arXiv:2607. 18715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent world models underpin much of modern model-based control, yet current action-conditioned formulations supervise the next-latent transition with a single, undifferentiated target, forcing a monolithic learning signal to absorb every source of state change.

arXiv:2607. 00044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a finite-state symbolic controller for systems in which the admissible visible transitions are fixed in advance and each visible state carries a minimum dwell requirement.

arXiv:2606. 24945v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We ask a representation-learning question about physical world models: when does a conservation law remain certifiable after a model learns a latent representation?

arXiv:2606. 05957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Singular learning theory and information geometry have studied the same parameter spaces in mostly separate vocabularies: the former computes Bayesian invariants in resolved coordinates, the latter works in original coordinates under a non-degeneracy assumption that overparameterised models routinely violate.

arXiv:2607. 20171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learned solvers for compressible flow are usually compared to classical methods at equal mesh resolution rather than at equal computational cost, and they typically offer no guarantee that their solutions remain physically admissible.
