Emergence Invariance: From Symbolized Thought to Structural Control

arXiv:2608. 01548v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language-first intelligence is constrained by which distinctions enter its symbolic record, which mappings its language--interpreter--environment complex can execute, and which possibilities can be realized with finite resources.

Sensitivity, Causality, and Repair Dissociate: A Layer-Wise Analysis of Perturbation Robustness and Its Scaling

arXiv:2608. 03842v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a language model fails on surface-perturbed input (typos, OCR noise, homophones), "which layer is responsible" has three natural operationalizations: where representations diverge most (sensitivity), where restoring clean activations recovers the prediction (causality), and where a small adapter can repair the damage (compensatory capacity) - and we show these three layer maps dissociate.
