Breakdown of Local Denoising as Semantic Speciation
The paper argues that two timing windows in generative models may be the same event viewed from different angles.
The authors link the moment a sample settles into a semantic class with the moment local context stops being enough for generation. Under their “common cause” hypothesis, they prove the nonlocality window must fall inside the speciation window. They also describe conditions where both windows collapse to a single phase-transition time as system size grows, with Gaussian mixtures used as an analytic check. ArXiv · AI/CL/LG's note
