A Thermodynamic Theory of Learning Part II: Critical Period Closure and Continual Learning Failure
Daisuke Okanohara
Learning performed over finite time is inherently irreversible. In Part~I of this series, we modeled learning as a transport process in the space of parameter distributions and der…

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…
