I did consider avoiding technical mathematical terminology because it would suggest a level of mathematical rigour that doesn’t actually exist. But I decided to keep the mathematical terminology but hope that people interpret it loosely.
I really enjoyed the absurdity of mathematical terms in close proximity to Super Mario characters. It was simultaneously enlightening and humorous. I found the simulacra superposition concept in particular to be a useful framing.
In addition to “The Waluigi eigen-simulacra are attractor states of the LLM”, the following bit provided valuable insight while making me chuckle at the sheer geekiness:
“However, the superposition is unlikely to collapse to the Luigi simulacrum [...] This is formally connected to the asymmetry of the Kullback-Leibler divergence.”
Thanks for the kind words.
