Self-Reference in Large Language Models: The Introspection Threshold for Recursive Self-Improvement
Jiang Zhang, Bing Yuan, Qian Zhang
The pursuit of self-evolving AI raises a critical question: when is autonomous self-improvement sustainable rather than degenerative? Drawing an analogy to von Neumann's complexity…
SVD-based Causal Emergence for Gaussian Iterative Systems
Kaiwei Liu, Linli Pan, Zhipeng Wang +3
Causal emergence (CE) based on effective information (EI) demonstrates that macro-states can exhibit stronger causal effects than micro-states in dynamics. However, the identificat…
Dynamical Reversibility and A New Theory of Causal Emergence based on SVD
Jiang Zhang, Ruyi Tao, Keng Hou Leong +2
The theory of causal emergence (CE) with effective information (EI) posits that complex systems can exhibit CE, where macro-dynamics show stronger causal effects than micro-dynamic…
An Exact Theory of Causal Emergence for Linear Stochastic Iteration Systems
Kaiwei Liu, Bing Yuan, Jiang Zhang
After coarse-graining a complex system, the dynamics of its macro-state may exhibit more pronounced causal effects than those of its micro-state. This phenomenon, known as causal e…
