Grokking delay on Collatz prediction is a decoder access bottleneck after early encoder structure learning, with numeral base as a strong inductive bias on learnability.
FoNE encodes numbers as single tokens via Fourier features and outperforms subword and digit-wise embeddings on addition, subtraction, and multiplication with far less data.
