- The central question of whether representational geometry implies corresponding computational structure
- Conventional programming constructs like variables, arrays; claimed unnecessary for Elephant programs.
- The actual computational operations a model performs, which the paper argues need not mirror representational structure
- The meaningful organization of concepts in a model's representation space, claimed to be better captured by manifolds than by SAEs.
- Training data with inherent geometric or relational structure, which induces geometric organization in model internals.
- The central motivating question of the chapter, driving Alexander's proposal of the principle of unfolding wholeness
- A structure created by an unfolding, differentiating process that adapts each part deeply, achieving mistake-free, complex, living geometry. Contrasted with fabricated structure.
- Critical phenomenon in determining whether systems can maintain ordered target states; analyzed via free-energy scaling.
