The paper introduces a theoretical framework called Chaotic-Differential Information Fields (CDIF) for language models, departing from traditional linear-algebraic approaches.
CDIF represents tokens as initial conditions in a high-dimensional phase space, evolving them through non-linear dynamical systems based on chaos theory.
Semantic meaning and token sequences emerge from trajectories converging upon context-dependent strange attractors, with token generation defined by mapping to attractor regions.
The model aims to address limitations of current transformer architectures, providing a formalism for semantic ambiguity, phase transitions, and non-repetitive generative flows.
The mathematical framework involves token representation as phase space initial conditions, context-modulated evolution equations, attractor formation, token generation via attractor partitioning, and stability considerations.
Training components include initial condition embeddings, context parameter maps, and attractor partition classifiers, with a training objective combining language modeling loss and stability regularization.
Theoretical advantages of the CDIF framework include emergent non-linearity, compressed memory representation, context-sensitive dynamics, natural ambiguity modeling, and robustness/stability.
Computational considerations involve complexity analysis, parallel implementation possibilities, and suitability for specialized hardware supporting ODE integration.
Future directions include empirical validation, exploring architectural variations, theoretical analysis of attractor topology, and potential hybrid models combining linear and non-linear approaches.
In conclusion, CDIF offers a radical rethinking of language model architecture, aligning with dynamical systems theory to capture complex linguistic phenomena and potentially enhancing AI reasoning processes.
