New theory unifies AI semantic drift signals with geometric framework

A new theoretical framework called Semantic Substrate Dynamics Theory (SSDT) has been proposed to unify various signals of semantic drift in AI models. This theory models semantic drift as observable phenomena of a time-indexed substrate that links embedding geometry with a local diffusion kernel. SSDT distinguishes between internal model changes and external influences, using concepts like coarse Ricci curvature to describe the structure of embedding graphs and predict future model behavior.

    Semantic Substrate Dynamics Theory: An Operator-Theoretic Framework for Geometric Semantic Drift

    arXiv:2602.18699v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Studies of semantic drift report heterogeneous signals, including embedding displacement, neighbor change, distributional divergence, and recursive trajectory instability, without a shared account that relates them. Semant…
