The paper claims generation and recognition in formal languages diverge along computational complexity, ambiguity, directionality, information availability, grammar inference, and temporality, with directionality and temporality newly framed as distinct dimensions and linked to surprisal.

The Generation-Recognition Asymmetry: Six Dimensions of a Fundamental Divide in Formal Language Theory
The paper claims generation and recognition in formal languages diverge along computational complexity, ambiguity, directionality, information availability, grammar inference, and temporality, with directionality and temporality newly framed as distinct dimensions and linked to surprisal.
