Attention as Frustrated Synchronization

arXiv:2606. 18694v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A network of oscillators that synchronizes perfectly computes nothing further, so an attention architecture built from synchronization must locate its computation in structured departures from agreement.

Geometric Attention: A Regime-Explicit Operator Semantics for Transformer Attention

arXiv:2601. 11618v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Geometric Attention (GA) specifies an attention layer by four independent inputs: a finite carrier (what indices are addressable), an evidence-kernel rule (how masked proto-scores and a link induce nonnegative weights), a probe family (which observables are treated as admissible), and an anchor/update rule (which representative kernel is selected and how it is applied).

From Direction to Magnitude: How Multimodal Instruction-Tuning Reorganizes the Geometric Encoding of Identity-Specifying Prompts in Transformer Hidden States

arXiv:2607. 09842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate whether identity-specifying system prompts produce statistically distinguishable geometric fingerprints in the hidden-state trajectories of four open-weight transformer language models spanning four post-training regimes: no training (Gemma-4-E4B base), multimodal RLHF (Gemma-4-E4B-it), RL distillation (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B), and SFT (Qwen2.
