Prediction Is Not a Sufficient Memory State
A research paper in machine learning theory whose central argument distinguishes predictive sufficiency from learning sufficiency. It proves that a memory state capable of reproducing current predictions is insufficient to guarantee continued learning ability, and characterizes the precise mathematical boundaries under cumulative learning and attention mechanisms.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A memory state that accurately reproduces all predictions of the current model may have already lost the ability to continue learning from the next observation.
The paper explicitly states that it is not proposing a new regression algorithm, nor claiming performance improvements in trained models, but rather answering the foundational theoretical question of what future updates actually reveal.
