A Thermodynamic Theory of Learning Part II: History-Dependent Reachability and Continual Learning
Daisuke Okanohara
We formulate plasticity as target-dependent, finite-horizon reachability under history-dependent dynamics, using standard minimum-energy control theory. An extended state includes…

A Thermodynamic Theory of Learning I: Irreversible Ensemble Transport and Epistemic Costs
Daisuke Okanohara
Learning systems acquire structured internal representations from data, yet classical information-theoretic results state that deterministic transformations do not increase informa…
