The Geometry of Admissible Computation: A Unified Thermodynamic Framework

Authors/Creators

Description

Abstract

This dataset contains the theoretical proofs and experimental verification for the Inverse Scaling Law (ISL). We propose that thermodynamic constraints impose a hard physical barrier on non-modular computation.

Included Materials:

  • ISL_Framework_Paper.pdf: Unified theoretical paper (Typeset).
  • supplementary_proofs/: Detailed Theorem Proofs (PDFs).
    • Theorem_01_Modularity.pdf
    • Theorem_04_Reuse.pdf
    • Theorem_07_Scope.pdf
  • code/kill_switch_experiment.py: Source code for the generalization gap experiment.
  • figures/: High-resolution verification plots.

Key Results:

Experimental validation confirmed a 38x efficiency gap between modular and monolithic architectures in data-starved regimes, supporting the Information Reuse Bound ($T \propto 1/R$).
