LLM Capability Limits: Static Emergence and Dynamic Boundary Control
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.01548v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time emergence in LLM systems has a deployment boundary: additional computation can realize decisions already supported by the deployed information--execution structure, while evidence, tools, memory, and executable semantics can change the class inherited by later computation. We formalize this boundary through inherited structural capability $\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{J}}$ and resource-indexed finite realization $\mathcal{F}_s(\mathcal{J},M)$. At a common budget, Theorem 1 gives an exact decision representation: a successor improves every

Why it matters
The importance of “LLM Capability Limits: Static Emergence and Dynamic Boundary Control” will be measured by what changes in practice. User behavior, access conditions, verifiable performance and responsible-use outcomes are the signals worth following.
