This repository currently contains the LaTeX manuscript source for:
K=1 Chronogeometrodynamics: Lorentzian Signature as a Geometric Precondition for the Schrodinger Representation
It also serves as the theoretical anchor for a proposed K=1 geometric deep learning program for language models: a pseudo-Riemannian framework in which Transformer hidden states are treated as evolving near Lorentzian metric structures rather than as purely Euclidean statistical features.
The central theorem-level claim is conditional: given a physically selected
non-degenerate local metric block G, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck/Fokker-Planck
construction supports a Schrodinger-type wavefunction representation exactly
when the local metric block has Lorentzian signature, equivalently det G < 0.

- A
K=1stability condition gives a critical damping parameterd_c > 0if and only ifdet G < 0. - In the local OU reduction near the
K=1surface, the Fokker-Planck equation can be mapped by a similarity transform to an imaginary-time Schrodinger-type structure. - Since the OU construction requires real positive damping, the Schrodinger-type representation is supported only on the Lorentzian side.
- Treating
Delta = det Gas an effective dynamical variable gives an idealized one-way signature-boundary protection mechanism through Lorentzian-side noise scalingD_L(Delta) proportional to sqrt(|Delta|). - The active-time and measurement-channel sections are presented as downstream operational closures, not as evidence for physical metric signature switching.
The language-model interpretation takes the manuscript's signature gate as an engineering hypothesis:
- Hidden representations should be regularized or parameterized so their
effective local metric remains Lorentzian (
det G < 0). - Token output may be studied as a boundary event near a critical determinant surface, rather than only as unconstrained softmax sampling. This repository does not establish physical wave-function collapse in language models.
- Optimization can be viewed as flow along a pseudo-Riemannian structure, replacing flat Euclidean updates with geometry-aware dynamics.
In this reading, the model update has the schematic form:
h_{l+1} = h_l + P_up (z_{l+1} - z_l)
z_{l+1} = z_l + dt (J_G - d_c I) grad V
where:
Gis the local effective metric of hidden states.d_cis the critical damping parameter, real and positive only on the Lorentzian side.J_G = alpha G^-1 Jis the symplectic generator.det G < 0marks the Lorentzian regime in which the wavefunction representation is supported.det G > 0marks the Euclidean regime in which this representation is not supported by the K=1 OU-FP construction.
A pre-mix scale-matched, full-layer negative-Lorentz adapter produced a small, reproducible cross-entropy improvement over matched residual, negative-Euclidean, and negative-random controls in DistilGPT-2 and in a secondary ten-seed pooled GPT-2 analysis. The GPT-2 pooled Test improvements were significant at paired 95% intervals and showed 9/10 wins against each control.
The effective direction was negative and is not OU attraction toward K=1.
These experiments do not validate physical wave-function collapse or a
Token-collapse transition. Absolute improvements were small and remain limited
to the tested models, datasets, and adapter protocol.
| Experiment | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V4.3 DistilGPT-2 10 seeds | Passed | Negative-Lorentz engineering effect in this setting |
| V4.4 GPT-2 3-seed screen | Failed | Screening GO rule did not pass |
| V4.5 diagnosis | Exploratory | Suggested local seed/layer sensitivity |
| V4.6 fixed Mask | Failed | Fixed layer-mask hypothesis did not generalize |
| V4.6 full-Lorentz control | Positive held-out result | 7/7 Test wins over residual |
| V4.7 GPT-2 pooled 10 seeds | Passed, secondary | Pooled common-control replication |
V4.7 is a secondary pooled analysis of two consecutive GPT-2 experiments, not a newly preregistered standalone ten-seed experiment. The V4.4 screen failure and V4.6 fixed Mask failure are part of the evidence record and should remain visible.

The manuscript separates its claims into three layers:
- Theorem-level result: the conditional signature gate for the
Schrodinger-type representation within the stated
K=1OU-FP construction. - Effective-dynamics consequences: one-way boundary protection and related equilibrium identities inside the effective model.
- Operational closures: active-time reconstruction and the
mu = 2measurement-channel diagnostic.
The paper should be evaluated primarily on the first layer.
