Tool access alone does not make LLM empirical reasoning governable: accepted outputs need not descend from attested evidence, and accepted deductions need not hold up under formal scrutiny. We present EG-VAR (Evidence-Grounded Verified Agentic Reasoning), a Lean 4-based tool-call…
We study layered models, including feedforward networks, ResNets, and transformers, by limiting each layer to a width of $d = 3$, i.e., $\mathbb{R}^3$ as representation space. This allows us to track how a neural network changes low-dimensional topological invariants through its…
Contrastive embedding models trained with scale-invariant losses are typically paired with distance metrics like cosine similarity, effectively ignoring embedding magnitudes. However, surprisingly, empirical studies reveal that despite this, these "discarded" norms seem to correl…
