The paper introduces a framework for intrinsic‑extrinsic coupling in learning dynamics, defining it via a continuation‑conditioned value of a constrained learning‑state intervention and observation‑relative fibers. It presents an executable finite‑frame classifier‑head that protects current logits while repairing historical margins, and distinguishes local admissibility, intervention value, and complete‑policy performance. Experiments on CLINC‑derived class‑incremental tasks, output distillation with RoBERTa, and SGDW dynamics demonstrate that coupling can produce both positive and negative interactions, and that coordinated content controls can match or exceed development gains while guided allocation reduces cross‑entropy loss compared to standard replay.

The paper introduces a framework for intrinsic‑extrinsic coupling in learning dynamics, where a learner’s current observations do not solely dictate its future training responses. It formalizes this coupling through a continuation‑conditioned value of a constrained learning‑state intervention and employs an executable finite‑frame classifier‑head to protect current logits while adjusting historical margins. Experiments across CLINC‑derived class‑incremental settings, output distillation with RoBERTa, and SGDW dynamics reveal that coupling can produce both positive and negative interactions, and that coordinated interventions can match or exceed development gains while reducing cross‑entropy loss compared to standard replay.
arXiv:2609. 03241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A reasoning model can improve from its own on-policy experience, but this inner loop is fragile: terminal verifiers provide reliable yet sparse supervision, while dense same-model guidance can reinforce false confidence or overconcentrate learning on a narrow solution mode.
arXiv:2608. 14634v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological intelligence naturally prevents catastrophic forgetting through Complementary Learning Systems (CLS) theory, a macroscopic consolidation process driven at the local level by synaptic metaplasticity: the continuous, history-dependent neuromodulation of individual synapses.
