Beyond text correlation: attaching a geometry simulator to ground model reasoning
gerardsans · x · 2026-10-15
In a discussion on LLM reasoning limits, gerardsans argues that going beyond text correlation requires attaching a geometry simulator, letting models verify propositions via deterministic computational rules rather than training-data support — the route taken by AlphaGeometry2 and an agentic version of it. He adds that training on samples combining math problems with detailed visual descriptions would also help where sample counts suffice. Core thesis: transformers rely on frozen data manifolds from closed corpora and need external grounding to fill the missing causal mechanism.
