Cross-domain anchoring demonstrates that UCCT's principles apply beyond textclaim0.781
Claim of modality generality
UCCT is a working lens in which LLMs are latent pattern repositories whose task-competent behavior arises when external semantic anchors bind prior patterns to targets.quote0.780
Defines the UCCT perspective.
UCCT does not claim anchors create new knowledge; anchors recruit and bind latent structure, helping explain when adaptation is abrupt, when it transfers, and when it fails.quote0.777
