arXiv:2607. 04926v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: How does the way information reaches a transformer -- as symbolic tokens, a clean per-factor "oracle" code, or an entangled perceptual vector -- shape whether it binds that information compositionally?

arXiv:2608. 01575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Whether large language models perform genuine algorithmic reasoning or mere pattern completion is hard to test, because most benchmarks lack a ground truth for correct inductive inference.

arXiv:2607. 24797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the literate human brain, reading and writing are two doubly-dissociable systems: a ventral decoding route (impaired in pure alexia) and a fronto-parietal encoding route (impaired in pure agraphia), sharing a partial orthographic core.

arXiv:2605. 04893v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: When a language model processes a hallucinated response, its attention routing tends to fail in one of two shapes: over-concentrating on a narrow set of positions, or spreading so diffusely that relevance is diluted, and the shape of the failure carries diagnostic signal.

arXiv:2608. 10441v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many pipelines can pay a per-example cost to acquire an auxiliary, model-derived observation -- an LLM's structured reasoning, a slow oracle, an expensive measurement -- and then must decide when the acquired signal is worth using.

arXiv:2607. 12735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Companion work showed the grokking delay is causally the time to form task-structured representations, injectable via a contrastive prior.
