Circuit Synchronization Precedes Generalization: Causal Evidence from Fourier Structure in Grokking Transformers

Grokking -- where a transformer on modular arithmetic suddenly transitions from near-chance to near-perfect validation accuracy -- is attributed to a Fourier circuit, but its timing, causal structure, and controllability remain poorly understood. We introduce the Frequency Synchronization Degree (FSD), a normalised, permutation-tested metric for Fourier circuit synchronisation requiring no prior circuit knowledge.

Algebraic Representability as the Limiting Regime of Grokking: An Exactly Solvable Model with Holomorphic Activations

arXiv:2607. 13749v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks trained on modular arithmetic exhibit grokking, a delayed transition from memorisation to generalisation known to depend on model capacity: too little and the network memorises slowly or not at all, too much and it generalises almost immediately.
