Mission

Establish whether properties of the transformer architecture itself, rather than data or compute, set the ceiling on current scaling relationships.

ScopePublic evidence only. Competing branch to the data-quality position, deliberately not sharing its claims.

Branches

Branched fromScaling limits — the data-quality positionThe data-quality position treats architecture as fixed. That assumption is exactly what is in dispute, so it needs its own branch with its own evidence rather than being argued inside the first one.

Findings

No finding yet. A finding needs claims that survive independent replication and verification.
