arXiv:2606. 31845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A transformer's feed-forward (FFN) sublayer materializes the distinctions attention gathers, yet gives no account of what it computes.

arXiv:2607. 04319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A companion paper showed that a transformer's feed-forward layer can be rebuilt from explicit fuzzy set operations - intersection, set-difference, and a self-forgetting sequence quantifier - so its hidden units read as named logical operators at no cost to language-model quality.

A companion paper showed that a transformer's feed-forward layer can be rebuilt from explicit fuzzy set operations - intersection, set-difference, and a self-forgetting sequence quantifier - so its hidden units read as named logical operators at no cost to language-model quality. That left the other half of the transformer opaque.
arXiv:2606. 01532v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positional encoding (PE) is widely viewed as necessary for transformers to process ordered sequences: without them, the next-token map appears permutation-invariant in its context tokens.

arXiv:2601. 11618v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural architecture is often identified by module syntax, computation graphs, or the composite functions they realize.

arXiv:2608. 03620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation patching and weight-space ablation both claim a component is causally responsible for a behavior, yet they act on different objects: one forward pass versus the parameters behind every forward pass.
