arXiv:2609.05572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that every strictly positive probability distribution on ({-1,1}^n) is represented exactly by a sigmoid belief network with finite parameters. This answers a question of Sutskever and Hinton. The proof upgrades their probability-sharing approximation to exact representation using Brouwer's fixed-point theorem.

ARC-Bench: Evaluating Action Ranking in Frozen JEPA World Models

ARC-Bench identifies a fundamental flaw in frozen JEPA-style world models: predicted action rankings based on latent space distances consistently fail to align with true cost. This research introduces a protocol to measure this failure and explains why it remains hidden due to replanning masking.
