Spherical geometry simplifies adaptive-loop reasoning and improves halting efficiency

By moving fixed-point computation to the unit hypersphere, the authors eliminate coupling in residual rescaling and achieve better accuracy and earlier halting on puzzle tasks.

The authors introduce Spherical Fixed-Point Reasoners (SFPRM), which perform a damped fixed-point loop on the hypersphere of normalized transformers.

The authors modify the Fixed-Point Reasoner (FPRM) framework to operate on the unit hypersphere, leveraging the normalized Transformer (nGPT) architecture.
