连续思维机器（CTM）如何分类图像：沿不动点曲线行进

arXiv:2610.19220v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) is a recurrent network that attends to inputs and makes predictions based on the synchronization between its neurons. On tasks spanning many domains, it displays emergent thought processes that have not been explained. We report a number of findings about how the CTM classifies images, focusing on ImageNet. Thinking steps are attracting but strongly non-normal maps exhibiting balanced amplification (Murphy and Miller, 2009); while attraction is already present at CTM initialization, training highly promotes non-normality. By Banach's theorem, the neural state thus has a locally unique attracting fixed point, which moves at every step, and the thought trajectory is the curve these fixed points trace, followed one tick behind. Most of that curve's motion is shared across images, and visible as a previously reported traveling wave of activity across neurons. The attention schedule along the thought is largely generic: shuffling queries across images at every tick costs only 7 percent of classification accuracy, while image-independent increments predict the next query with R^2 = 0.98 (held out). Our results suggest that the CTM has found a single strategy to process all ImageNet images.
