Statistically Meaningful Geometry and Gauge Symmetry Breaking: A Geometric Foundation for Scientific Discovery and Intelligence Emergence

arXiv:2607. 05436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid scaling of over-parameterized machine learning architectures, particularly LLMs, raises a profound crisis: do these systems exhibit genuine intelligence, or are they merely sophisticated statistical pattern matchers?

Dead Directions: Geometric Singular Learning

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.

Exact Symmetry as Algebra: A Machine-Verified Tensor Calculus that Enforces Physical Selection Rules

arXiv:2605. 20440v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Symmetry is central to the physical sciences, yet machine learning usually captures it only approximately, leaving a residual per-step equivariance error $\varepsilon$ that compounds with depth $M$ as $M\varepsilon$, whereas exact equivariance holds at unbounded depth; we demonstrate this divergence at fourteen orders of magnitude.

Gauge-Invariant, Parameter-Insensitive Regularization for Potential Recovery from Flow on Directed Graphs

arXiv:2607. 13609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recovering a latent potential from observed flow on a directed graph (a discrete Poisson problem with Dirichlet boundaries) is ill-posed, and the standard fix backfires: ridge regularization shrinks toward a gauge-meaningless origin, collapsing and reversing the recovered ordering ($+0.
