arXiv:2606. 21253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning that is gradient-free, local, online, and append-only is attractive for edge and streaming deployment, but its value is usually argued informally.

arXiv:2607. 14571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce \emph{gate-zero growth}, a function-preserving (FP) operator for continual learning that adds new residual blocks through a zero-initialised gate.

arXiv:2606. 12502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose that value -- the quantity goal-directed agents create, destroy, and exchange -- is a lawful structural quantity in the same category as information.

arXiv:2608. 10869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worst-case multiclass bounds do not become smaller when the best classifier is already nearly correct: what is missing is an optimistic rate, a guarantee whose fluctuation scales with the oracle risk itself.

arXiv:2606. 30788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are often adapted in stages: a public skill phase, a private memory phase, and a later safety phase that learns to refuse outputs tied to the remembered entities.

arXiv:2607. 07423v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that, in the realizable PAC setting, the sample complexity of exact-trace learning for full autoregressive Chain-of-Thought traces is upper bounded by the standard multiclass rate of the local next-token class, where this rate is governed by the Daniely--Shalev-Shwartz dimension.
