Cost Accounting for Reactive Computational Graphs: Exhaustive Sweeps, Sequential Mutation, and the Backward-Locality Gap

arXiv:2607. 18323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exhaustive site-by-site interventions on a neural network's computational graph -- activation-patching sweeps, circuit-discovery searches, systematic ablation studies -- mutate the graph at every candidate site, and their cost is dominated by recomputation after each mutation.

Exact Network Surgery: Functional Invariance and Gradient Plasticity in Reactive Computational Graphs

arXiv:2607. 16568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Function-preserving network growth techniques such as Net2Net and progressive stacking expand a model's capacity without destroying its learned function, but existing formulations either tolerate numerical perturbations or require a full rebuild of the training program.

Capacity-Controlled Global Attention for Graph Transformers

arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.

Breaking the Solver Bottleneck: Training Task Generators at the Learnable Frontier

arXiv:2606. 18284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The limiting resource for training agents via reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly frontier task supply: valid, solvable tasks just difficult enough to train the current model.
