Fixed-Point Traps and Identity Emergence in Educational Feedback Systems

2025-05-27 · Faruk Alpay

This paper presents a formal categorical proof that exam-driven educational systems obstruct identity emergence and block creative convergence. Using the framework of Alpay Algebra II and III, we define Exam-Grade Collapse Systems (EGCS) as functorial constructs where learning dynamics $\varphi$ are recursively collapsed by evaluative morphisms $E$. We prove that under such collapse regimes, no nontrivial fixed-point algebra $\mu_\varphi$ can exist, hence learner identity cannot stabilize. This creates a universal fixed-point trap: all generative functors are entropically folded before symbolic emergence occurs. Our model mathematically explains the creativity suppression, research stagnation, and structural entropy loss induced by timed exams and grade-based feedback. The results apply category theory to expose why modern educational systems prevent {\phi}-emergence and block observer-invariant self-formation. This work provides the first provable algebraic obstruction of identity formation caused by institutional feedback mechanics.

Self-conditioned Flow Map Language Models via Fixed-point Flows

2026-07-01 · Jaehoon Yoo, Wonjung Kim, Floor Eijkelboom, Chanhyuk Lee 외 arxiv

Self-conditioning is a core technique that enhances continuous flow-based language models, where the model learns to denoise generated text by conditioning on its own denoising estimate. While empirically successful, its…

Fixed Points of Deep Neural Networks: Emergence, Stability, and Applications
