✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our method uses the properties of positional embeddings to enable LLMs built for sequential generation to simultaneously think, listen, and write outputs.

C2weakest assumption

That altering the handling of positional embeddings preserves the model's original reasoning accuracy and does not introduce generation inconsistencies or hallucinations.

C3one line summary

Using properties of positional embeddings, reasoning LLMs can be made to think, listen, and generate outputs asynchronously without any additional training, cutting time to first token to under 5 seconds.
