Theoretical Methodology

Extended chain-of-thought models rely on dynamic test-time compute, generating hundreds of intermediate deliberation tokens inside <think>...</think> scratchpads. Discretization noise from standard PTQ accumulates multiplicatively across intermediate reasoning steps, leading to proof derailment and infinite repetitive cycles.

DuoNeural's Generalized Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (G-TAP v3) framework models neural weights as spin glasses embedded in activation cavity fields. By subtracting the Onsager reaction term:

$$\Omega_i = \frac{1}{d} \left( \| \tilde{H}_{i,:} \|_2^2 - \tilde{H}_{ii}^2 \right)$$

and projecting parameter updates strictly into the contractive Lyapunov half-space:

$$\operatorname{Re}(\lambda(S)) \le -\delta$$

G-TAP dampens back-reaction noise and preserves reasoning attractor basins across extended thinking sequences.
