EvolveScaler: Synthesizing Information-Evolution Contexts via Executable State Machines and Natural-Language Rendering

Ziliang Zhao, Zenan Xu, Shuting Wang +6

In persistent interactions, long contexts may encode an evolving process rather than a fixed record: later events can revise or revoke earlier information, changing what remains va…
