New framework unifies gradient descent and mechanics

Researchers have introduced a new mathematical framework called Compositional Dynamics, which unifies gradient-based learning and Hamiltonian-style mechanics. This framework uses an operad called Arr, where morphisms represent smooth adaptive arrangements involving parameter spaces, input-output maps, and potentials. The core technical contribution is 'lens internalization,' which enables functors that map these arrangements to discrete dynamical systems. AI

IMPACT This research provides a theoretical foundation for understanding learning algorithms and physical systems through a unified mathematical lens.

    Compositional Dynamics in Learning and Mechanics

    arXiv:2606.28984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We give a single compositional setting in which gradient-based learning and Hamiltonian-style mechanics appear as functorial semantics. The syntax is an operad Arr whose objects are input-output interfaces (pairs of manifolds) and…
