Discover how identity acts as an attractor in LLM activation space, revealing persistent agent architecture through geometric analysis

advanced Published 15 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Run experiments on LLMs like Llama 3.1 to analyze hidden states and attractor behavior
  2. Compare original cognitive_core with paraphrased versions to identify persistent patterns
  3. Apply geometric analysis to visualize and quantify attractor-like dynamics in activation space
  4. Configure and test different LLM architectures to validate findings
  5. Analyze results to inform design of more efficient and effective persistent agent architectures

Title: Identity as Attractor: Geometric Evidence for Persistent Agent Architecture in LLM Activation Space

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.12016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models map semantically related prompts to similar internal representations -- a phenomenon interpretable as attractor-like dynamics. We ask whether the identity document of a persistent cognitive agent (its cognitive_core) exhibits analogous attractor-like behavior. We present a controlled experiment on Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, comparing hidden states of an original cognitive_core (Condition A), seven paraphrases (Condition B), and se
