- Define "SOTA in weight class" (4-10B params, M4 Max trainable) - Specify task-specific window sizes (4K-16K) based on retrieval architecture - Detail use cases for all modalities: NLU, video, image, audio, code - Document physics grounding competitive advantage (learned world model) - Establish quantitative benchmarks and qualitative metrics - Emphasize flexible windowing: retrieval + SSM carry handle long-range dependencies Key insight: Architecture enables smaller windows (video gen ~4K, code gen ~8K) because three-tier retrieval and low-frequency phase coherence capture context outside window boundaries. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
SPCE is a generalization of RoPE that extends rotary position embeddings to: - Continuous absolute time (t = timestamp, not discrete positions) - Shared frequency palette across modalities (cross-modal phase coherence) - Explicit phase offsets for alignment Fixed the analogy section to make it clear SPCE *is* the rotary encoding mechanism, replacing RoPE rather than working alongside it. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…oding Major corrections to align README with REQUIREMENTS and architectural reality: 1. CRITICAL: Removed false "orthogonal to content" claim - NLU preserved via full O(w²) cross-attention within window - Phase rotation enhances cross-modal alignment without compromising semantics 2. Flexible window sizing (4K-32K) replacing hardcoded 2048 - Video gen (standard): 4K-8K tokens - Video gen (ultra quality): 16K-32K tokens (supports 8-12 sec @ ultra) - Code gen: ~8K tokens - NLU: 8K-16K tokens 3. Added key design principle: "Why small windows work" - Three-tier retrieval + SSM carry = unbounded effective context - Constant compute cost regardless of sequence length 4. Emphasized architectural moat: Unbounded understanding with bounded compute - Small finite windows + retrieval + SSM = unlimited context - Perfect recall via kNN, knowledge via RETRO, state via SSM carry 5. SPCE information density advantage - Continuous time + shared cross-modal frequencies + explicit phase offsets - MORE information than RoPE at similar computational cost 6. Updated all computational examples - Use 16K window as realistic baseline for video understanding - 25× memory reduction (52 GB → 2.1 GB active) - 620× ops reduction for long sequences All calculations now reflect production-quality architecture designed for 6B model training on M4 Max 128GB. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Major reframing throughout documentation: ## Core Vision Update - Target users: Creative professionals, game developers, AI avatar users - Long-term goal: Real-time holodeck-like interactive world generation - Physics grounding is TRAINING METHODOLOGY, not use case - General-purpose foundation model, not narrow physics domain ## Use Case Examples Replaced Throughout OLD (physics-focused): - "What is projectile motion?" → formula application - Physics overlays, force vectors, trajectory prediction - Math lectures, equation grounding NEW (creative professional-focused): - "Give Mom a funny Christmas sweater in this family photo" - AI avatar conversations with visual characters - "Make this sunset more dramatic and add ambient ocean sounds" - "Add a glowing particle effect to this Unity scene" - Explore AI-generated virtual worlds - Instruct-edit capabilities for image/video ## Training Curriculum Updated - Stage 1: Text-to-image with dialogue (not math lectures) - Stage 2: Dynamic scenes & interaction (not physics equations) - Stage 3: Conversational & editing tasks (not physics problems) - Stage 4: Real-world augmentation for creative workflows ## Success Metrics Revised - Instruction following & editing accuracy - Physical plausibility (lighting, materials, not F=ma predictions) - Conversational AI with visual grounding - Interactive world generation (real-time, consistent) ## Implementation Roadmap Updated - Phase 2: Text-to-image foundation (not single-modal streaming) - Phase 3: Temporal & editing capabilities (not physics video) - Phase 4: Conversational AI & interactive worlds (holodeck prototype) ## Key Positioning Physics-grounded training teaches world models → enables physically plausible generation for creative applications.

…xibility CRITICAL FIXES: 1. Remove pretrained model dependencies (LLaMA/Mistral incompatible) - Novel SPCE + windowed attention breaks pretrained weights - Must train 6B from scratch on M4 Max 128GB - Training footprint: 50-60GB (fits comfortably) 2. Document SPCE's unique window flexibility advantage - SPCE uses absolute time (θ = ω·t), not position-based encoding - Model learns temporal relationships, not position patterns - Enables variable window training (4K-32K randomly sampled) - Same weights work with any window at inference - Cannot do this with RoPE/LLaMA/Mistral architectures 3. Update training timelines (training time, not dev effort) - Phase 1: SPCE validation - Phase 2: Base model (3-6 months training time) - Phase 3: Temporal & editing (additional 2-4 months) - Phase 4: Conversational & holodeck (additional 2-4 months) - Total: 7-14 months continuous training on M4 Max 4. Computational examples show window flexibility - 16K window: 258M ops/layer (video understanding) - 4K window: 17M ops/layer (real-time holodeck, 16× faster) - Same model, different windows, task-adaptive performance - Memory: 0.5-2.1 GB depending on window choice 5. Minor fixes - "Physics knowledge" → "relevant examples" (general use cases) - Remove QLoRA references (training from scratch, not fine-tuning) - Clarify M4 Max 128GB as training hardware Key insight: SPCE's temporal encoding is window-agnostic, enabling unprecedented flexibility that RoPE-based models cannot achieve. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
CRITICAL: Restored original vision that was lost in previous revisions. SPCE is NOT a positional encoding - it's a continuous manifold where all modalities coexist. Each token's coordinates are a point in spectral phase field that evolves with time, space, and energy. Full formulation: θ = ω·t + k·r + φ₀ - ω: Log-spaced spectral frequencies (10⁻⁴ to 10³ Hz) - t: Absolute continuous time - k: Spatial frequency vectors (k_x, k_y, k_z) - r: Spatial coordinates (x, y, z) - φ₀: Phase offset Crystal lattice spiral geometry: - Log-spaced ω atoms form quasi-crystalline lattice in phase space - Low-ω: Wide spirals (hours, narrative arc) - High-ω: Tight spirals (milliseconds, frame details) - All modalities at (t,r) map to same lattice coordinates Multi-scale temporal decomposition: - Per-head gates select temporal scales (Fourier-like decomposition) - Low-freq heads: long-range dependencies - High-freq heads: short-range patterns - Mixed heads: cross-scale relationships Key properties restored: 1. Temporal continuity: phase unwrapped across infinite timesteps 2. Spatial coherence: 3D objects share coordinate system via k·r 3. Spectral control: learnable ω adapts to phenomena 4. Cross-modal alignment: audio/video/text sync via shared phase 5. Memory anchoring: low-ω provides stable SSM carry references 6. Window agnostic: ∆θ = ω·∆t invariant to window size This is fundamentally different from RoPE/ALiBi - it's geometric embedding into multi-scale phase manifold, not position-based encoding. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Key additions:
1. SPCE pronounced "space" - mnemonic and literal (encodes space + time)
2. Framed as "field embedding" not positional encoding
- Continuous spectral phase field spanning space and time
- Each token = point on helical manifold
- Shared coordinate system for all modalities
3. Implementation details:
- Complex exponential basis: e^(iωt)
- Phase continuity: θ_{t+Δt} = θ_t + ω·Δt
- Per-head ω distributions for multi-scale temporal sensitivity
- Re-normalization to prevent long-run drift
4. Expanded SSM coupling property:
- Low-frequency ω bands persist in SSM carry (narrative state)
- High-frequency bands refresh with attention (local details)
5. Multi-view potential:
- SPCE = shared coordinate frame for multiple cameras
- Spatial frequencies encode same 3D world from different viewpoints
This captures the original vision: SPCE is not RoPE++, it's a fundamentally
different approach using field theory to embed events in continuous phase space.
