Causal Gated Collision Networks for Chinese Character-Level Language Modeling: An Exploratory Technical Report

This exploratory technical report documents a causal gated pairwise-interaction language-model prototype, controlled component ablations, a rising-and-falling state-increment regularization trial, and a larger Chinese Wikipedia corpus pilot. It archives code, configurations, raw metrics, generated samples, provenance manifests and selected checkpoints. Positive predictive results and negative generation/QA observations are both reported. The experiments are small, largely single-seed, and use repeatedly inspected evaluation splits. No general superiority over Transformers, semantic closure, physical-theory derivation, or dependable factual QA capability is claimed.
