The Inside of Generatedness: A Theory of Representational Sealing

This paper develops Representational Sealing Theory (ReST), a theory of one limit on any inquiry that asks after its own preconditions. Theoretical representation is conducted under a representational ‘law’ — a structured regime of admissible objects, distinctions, inferences and...

Stratum: Lie Field Layers for Grid Logic Puzzles in Small Transformers

We introduce Lie field layers, which add a decaying, optionally rotating recurrence over sequence positions to a transformer’s residual stream, and evaluate them on abstract-vocabulary grid logic puzzles. This version 1.1 corrects errors in version 1.0; every change is listed in...

The History of a Change of Mind: Why Thinking It Through Does Not Establish Authorship

We ordinarily treat a change of mind we have thought through as ours — as something we did and can answer for. This paper argues that whether a revision is ours to answer for is settled not by how completely the operative framing is integrated into our present reasoning but by th...

Who Governs the Exchange Rate? Recognition, conversion, and a constitutional question nobody has asked

Modern institutions recognise, and recognition earned in one institution can be spent in another, so the fields form a single order rather than a set of separate competitions. This paper treats the machinery that couples them as an evaluative layer running two gates: an admissibi...
