In the high-dimensional limit the spherical Boltzmann machine admits exact equations for training dynamics, Bayesian evidence, and cascades of phase transitions tied to mode alignment with data, which connect to generative phenomena including double descent and out-of-equilibrium biases.

Two steps of gradient descent on first-layer weights in linear-width two-layer networks produce a spiked random matrix with floor(alpha2/(1/2-alpha1)) outliers, each a learned direction, and batch reuse allows capturing directions with information exponent exceeding one.
A mechanics of the learning process is emerging in deep learning theory, characterized by dynamics, coarse statistics, and falsifiable predictions across idealized settings, limits, laws, hyperparameters, and universal behaviors.

Spherical Boltzmann machines: a solvable theory of learning and generation in energy-based models
In the high-dimensional limit the spherical Boltzmann machine admits exact equations for training dynamics, Bayesian evidence, and cascades of phase transitions tied to mode alignment with data, which connect to generative phenomena including double descent and out-of-equilibrium biases.

Feature Learning in Linear-Width Two-Layer Networks: Two vs. One Step of Gradient Descent
Two steps of gradient descent on first-layer weights in linear-width two-layer networks produce a spiked random matrix with floor(alpha2/(1/2-alpha1)) outliers, each a learned direction, and batch reuse allows capturing directions with information exponent exceeding one.
