Key Points

  • The aim is to determine if the geometric structure in polynomial continued fraction space reflects actual domain properties rather than encoder artifacts.
  • Varying latent dimension k within {3,4,5,6,7} for GOTv3 geometric autoencoders
  • Measuring displacement fields of nine symbolic operators
  • Evaluating operator magnitudes and Spearman correlation for stability assessment.
  • Rank ordering of operator magnitudes shows near-perfect stability with Spearman correlation rho between 0.967 and 1.000.
  • Persistent machine-precision commutator zeros across all latent dimensions k, indicating strong non-commuting characteristics.
  • Latent manifold retains a near-spherical shell with z-norm coefficient of variation below 1.5%.

Abstract

A central concern in empirical studies of learned mathematical representations is whether observed geometric structure reflects a domain property or an artifact of a particular encoder. We test this for polynomial continued fraction (PCF) space by varying the latent dimension k in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for a family of GOTv3 geometric autoencoders and measuring the induced displacement fields of nine symbolic operators. The rank ordering of operator magnitudes is near-perfectly stable, with pairwise Spearman correlation rho in 0. 967, 1. 000. Machine-precision commutator zeros persist at every k, strongly non-commuting shift/parity pairs remain large, The Apéry silence persists at 23-130x below the shift magnitude, and the latent manifold remains a near-spherical shell with z-norm coefficient of variation below 1. 5%. These results provide a robustness basis for treating empirical PCF operator geometry as a reproducible phenomenon rather than a single-checkpoint artifact.
