Large Signal Model · A theoretical atlas

See what a predictive state must preserve

Seventeen visual plates connect realization, predictive closure, memory, and certified probability domains. Start with the four contracts, follow a short route, or choose a question below.

Start with the four contractsTry two states with the same observation

Build a predictive state

Begin with the obstruction, then add the observable directions needed for closure.

Plate 3 · Plate 4 · Plate 9

Understand lost paths and memory

Follow discarded contributions through composition, history, and error propagation.

Plate 5 · Plate 6 · Plate 7 · Plate 8

Follow probability certificates

Move from behavior coordinates to domains, matrix witnesses, and statistical guarantees.

Plate 10 · Plate 11 · Plate 12 · Plate 13 · Plate 14 · Plate 15 · Plate 16 · Plate 17

Choose a plate

17 plates

  1. Plate 1 · P1

    Realizable coefficients form a subspace

    Can every stored coefficient vector represent an observation?

  2. Plate 2 · P2

    One operation, several coordinates

    Do two coordinate descriptions describe the same operation?

  3. Plate 3 · P6–P7

    The obstruction lives in a fiber

    Can the same current summary lead to two different futures?

  4. Plate 4 · P8, P14

    Refinement closes an observable space

    Which extra observable directions make the state close?

  5. Plate 5 · P3–P5, P20

    Packets decompose operations too

    What changes when interactions cross packet boundaries?

  6. Plate 6 · P7

    Compression can erase a return path

    Can a discarded coordinate matter after a round trip?

  7. Plate 7 · P10, P19

    Memory is an exact elimination

    What does eliminating the discarded state leave behind?

  8. Plate 8 · P18

    A local defect needs a propagation law

    Will a local defect shrink or grow as it propagates?

  9. Plate 9 · P14–P17

    What four observations identify

    What does a finite set of observations actually identify?

  10. Plate 10 · P27–P28

    Behavior can supply the coordinates

    Can future tests themselves supply predictive coordinates?

  11. Plate 11 · P29, P39–P40

    Probability meaning is geometric

    What makes every observation record a valid probability?

  12. Plate 12 · P46, P50–P51

    A curved domain can have a finite witness

    How can a curved domain have a finite matrix certificate?

  13. Plate 13 · P56–P59

    Integration retains a covariance term

    What is lost by averaging before a quadratic action?

  14. Plate 14 · P72, P83

    Uncertainty on a curved domain

    Which uncertainties preserve the supplied curved geometry?

  15. Plate 15 · P66, P68, P81–P84, P87

    A confidence set can meet an exact certificate

    How do statistical coverage and exact validity work together?

  16. Plate 16 · P85–P87

    Choose the future quantity before its bound

    Are we bounding a whole record or one future observation?

  17. Plate 17 · Navigation

    From the atlas to the proofs

    Where are the full statements, proofs, and recorded scopes?

This is a visual companion to the mathematical volume. Exact identities, geometric obstructions and worked rational examples connect the theory to its formal proofs. The source scope notes remain with every plate; the finite explorer illustrates the declared example.
