    Mechanical timer concept used throughout paper to illustrate operational principle and formal modeling of concepts
  • The natural cycle length of a cyclic concept (e.g., 12 for months, 7 for days of the week)

  • Experimental paradigm using prompts like 'what month is six months after August?' to study model arithmetic
  • Key empirical result: days-of-week appear as identical circular manifold in both Llama-3.1-8B internal activations and output token probability distributions.
