    The Algorithmic Mirror算法之镜

    Self-Attention Geometry, Ashby's Requisite Variety and Cognitive Projection in Information Theory and East Asian Philosophy of Mind

    Why two people who ask the same language model the same question come away with opposite impressions: conditional entropy and what a prompt adds, the geometry of self-attention, Ashby's law of requisite variety and the limits of verification, projection and confirmation bias, model collapse and how real data prevents it, and what the evidence on human–AI teams actually shows, read beside Zhuangzi's mirror and Yogācāra thought, with a four-step prompt audit and a pre-registered double-blind trial.

    为什么两个人问同一个语言模型会得到截然不同的印象:条件熵与提示带来的信息、自注意力几何、阿什比必要多样性与核查的上限、投射与确认偏误、模型崩溃与真实数据,以及人机团队的真实证据,与庄子之镜、唯识学并读,附四步提示审计与预注册双盲试验。
