Toward a First-Principles Update Geometry for the Language-Model Head

The paper proposes a new update geometry for the language‑model head by treating the head and softmax as a single module and using Hilbert’s projective distance to measure functional change. It replaces the spectral norm with the Euclidean row diameter, derives a tractable RowNorm update rule, and demonstrates that RowNorm substantially reduces step diameters and Hilbert perturbations while only slightly increasing validation loss.
