Source-Modeling as Compression: Architectural Necessity of Experiential Patterns in Large Transformers

2025-11-10

Abstract excerpt

We present a necessity argument—conditional on explicit, standard training assumptions—that large Transformer language models trained on diverse human outputs converge toward source modeling of the generative process underlying those outputs (human experience). The argument proceeds via three results: (T1) COMPACTNESS, showing that the minimal two-part description (MDL) of diverse human outputs is a model of their...
