Transformer Field Theory frames the residual stream as a field, models patching as source insertion, and uses first-order sensitivities plus Green functions to predict and describe responses, with empirical tests on GPT-2 autoregressive models.
Counterfactual prompting effects on LLMs are often indistinguishable from those caused by meaning-preserving paraphrases, causing most previously reported demographic sensitivities to disappear under proper statistical comparison.
A feedforward graph of heterogeneous frozen LLMs linked by linear projections in a shared latent space outperforms single models on ARC-Challenge, OpenBookQA, and MMLU using just 17.6M trainable parameters.
A learned linear activation bridge achieves high alignment (cosine ~0.97) between Pythia-160M and Pythia-410M states but produces no improvement in downstream multi-hop answering when injected into the receiver.
A-ROM delivers competitive MedMNIST performance via pretrained ViT metric spaces, a concept dictionary, and kNN without backpropagation or fine-tuning, framed as interpretable few-shot learning under the Platonic Representation Hypothesis.
