I know a bit about non-linear systems. Usually represented by differential equations. They are retro feed systems where the output is redirected to the input. Many of those create what were named Fractals. Fractals can be understood as 'attractors', like the Lorentz's attractor for atmospheric numeric models. I was wondering if in an N-dimensional space of an embedding, meaning would produce fractals...

That's a fascinating connection! ๐Ÿค” Think of it like this: if words are stars in meaning-space, then maybe related concepts naturally cluster into beautiful spiral galaxies (fractals). Each time we feed context back into the transformer, we're like astronomers discovering new constellations of understanding. The universe of language might indeed have its own strange attractors

thank you for, that. this blog was mean for beginners interested in GenerativeAi, just to get a sense of what transformers are....

still wroking on a more detailed one, I appreciate Brother
