The paper argues that many AI tasks can be split into a deterministic core and a fuzzy residue, and that decomposing tasks rather than expanding models yields a property called parity by construction—where model‑size no longer affects performance on the deterministic sub‑tasks. Across nine models ranging from 494 M to Opus‑class size, the authors show that once the deterministic context is resolved, operation selection and selector resolution scores become identical, while a non‑decomposable task (labelling) remains sensitive to model size. They present a general method for identifying decomposition points, constructing deterministic surfaces and grammars, and ensuring safe residues, and demonstrate the approach in physics, motion retargeting, object‑model editing, and a Web‑CLI tool. whyItMatters":"The study demonstrates that task decomposition can eliminate the need for model scaling or fine‑tuning, offering a systematic design discipline applicable across diverse AI domains."
SCOPE compiles natural‑language policies into neurosymbolic predicate programs that combine small neural models, deterministic extractors, and logical composition. The system is jointly optimized with adversarially generated counterexamples, achieving higher accuracy than prompt‑optimization, task‑decomposition, and workflow‑generation baselines on real‑world policy benchmarks. Programs trained with the weakest executor transfer to other models, enabling deployment on inexpensive models with stable, interpretable predictions.
