New theory suggests infrared organization governs Transformer dynamics in LLMs

A new paper proposes that the emergent behaviors in large language models are governed by a physical mechanism involving the reorganization of time-scale density of states (TDOS). Researchers used Pythia language models to extract relaxation spectra from Transformer layer Jacobians, revealing a progressive accumulation of slow relaxation modes. This process leads to scale-free memory kernels and a transient maximum in memory self-energy, suggesting that infrared slow-mode organization is a universal principle in Transformer dynamics. AI
