WITHDRAWN: The Physics of Thought: Reasoning as Thermodynamic Relaxation in Generative Models

2025-12-24

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Large language models exhibit strong reasoning abilities through chain-of-thought generation, yet the mechanisms underlying these processes remain poorly understood. We propose a thermodynamic framework that models reasoning as energy minimization in learned landscapes, establishing formal links between statistical physics and emergent reasoning. Token sequences correspond to microstate...
