Stochastic Indexing Primitives for Non-Deterministic Molecular Archives

Faruk Alpay, Levent Sarioglu

Random access remains a central bottleneck in DNA-based data storage. Existing systems typically retrieve records by PCR enrichment or other multi-step biochemical procedures, whic…

Latent Object Permanence: Topological Phase Transitions, Free-Energy Principles, and Renormalization Group Flows in Deep Transformer Manifolds

Faruk Alpay, Bugra Kilictas

We study the emergence of multi-step reasoning in deep Transformer language models through a geometric and statistical-physics lens. Treating the hidden-state trajectory as a flow…

The Geometry of Thought: Disclosing the Transformer as a Tropical Polynomial Circuit

Faruk Alpay, Bilge Senturk

We prove that the Transformer self-attention mechanism in the high-confidence regime (, where is an inverse temperature) operates in the tropical semiring (max-plu…

Bare-Metal Tensor Virtualization: Overcoming the Memory Wall in Edge-AI Inference on ARM64

Bugra Kilictas, Faruk Alpay

The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) on edge devices is fundamentally constrained by the "Memory Wall" the bottleneck where data movement latency outstrips arithmetic thr…

Rate-Distortion Analysis of Compressed Query Delegation with Low-Rank Riemannian Updates

Faruk Alpay, Bugra Kilictas

Bounded-context agents fail when intermediate reasoning exceeds an effective working-memory budget. We study compressed query delegation (CQD): (i) compress a high-dimensional late…

Truth-Aware Decoding: A Program-Logic Approach to Factual Language Generation

Faruk Alpay, Hamdi Alakkad

This paper introduces Truth-Aware Decoding (TAD), a verification-oriented decoding scheme that aligns neural language generation with knowledge bases. Situated in the tradition of…
