1. Mass-Coherence Correspondence
1.1 Fisher Information Mass Formula
M_semantic = (1/N) × Tr[I(θ)]
Variable
Definition
Units
M_semantic
Semantic mass — quantified resistance to perturbation in parameter space
dimensionless (normalized)
N

count
I(θ)
Fisher information matrix of the model's output distribution with respect to parameters θ
nats⁻²
Tr[·]

—
θ
Model parameters (weights and biases)
varies
Interpretation: Higher M_semantic predicts greater resistance to parameter perturbations, longer training times (higher inertia), and better generalization (more stable minima).
1.2 Semantic Schwarzschild Radius
r_semantic = (2 × G_info × M_semantic) / c_info²
Variable
Definition
Units
r_semantic
Semantic Schwarzschild radius — informational event horizon beyond which perturbations cannot propagate
parameter-space distance
G_info
Information-geometric coupling constant (analogous to gravitational constant)
TBD
M_semantic
Semantic mass (see above)
dimensionless
c_info
Maximum information propagation speed through the network
params/iteration
Prediction: Adversarial perturbations below r_semantic should be exponentially suppressed, analogous to radiation outside a black hole horizon.
