  • Cyclic Recurrenceframework0.760
    The specific looped mechanism studied: a fixed sequence of layers repeated in a cyclic pattern
  • Language model reasoning tasks with cyclic geometric structure used to test manifold steering.
  • Architectural design principle that decouples rationale generation (stage 1) from answer inference (stage 2) in Multimodal-CoT.
  • Cyclic Geometryconcept0.743
    One of the geometric structures used to characterize reasoning task representations in language models, used as a test case for manifold steering
  • Formalization of anchoring as posterior allocation over pattern clusters followed by output generation.
  • Cyclic Fixed Pointconcept0.734
    The key theoretical contribution: each layer in a cyclic recurrence converges to a distinct fixed point, tracing a consistent trajectory in latent space
  • Running example used throughout the paper; months cycle with period 12
  • Experimental paradigm using prompts like 'what month is six months after August?' to study model arithmetic
