Statement recorded in the supplied source.
For $M/N\to \alpha >0$, bi-orthogonally invariant M-by-N disorder whose singular empirical law tends in probability to a compactly supported nu and whose singular values have no outliers from supp(nu), does the bounded-continuous activation pressure converge in probability and mean to a deterministic function of (alpha,nu,f)? Ask for its spectral-block formula obtained by optimizing input squared-norm fractions $\rho _i:$ one-half $sum_i$ $v_i$ $\log (\rho _i/v_i)$, plus alpha times the block spherical-output pressure, then taking spectral mesh to zero.Short English statement

OpenAI claim summary for Math-2892
The main theorem gives the requested deterministic pressure limit and spectral-block variational formula for bounded continuous activation and compact singular spectra without outliers. The aspect-ratio extension permits arbitrary deterministic $M/N\to\alpha$, removing the main statement's floor convention.
Spherical perceptron pressure with orthogonally invariant disorder
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents a mathematical result relevant to this question in the selected manuscript. A spherical perceptron with bi-orthogonally invariant disorder is claimed to have an explicit pressure formula for bounded continuous activation and compact singular-value limits without outliers.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Result 1.
Let $M/N\to\alpha>0$, $r_N=\min(M,N)$, and let the law of a real $M\times N$ matrix $A_N$ be invariant under left and right orthogonal multiplication. Suppose its singular values $s_{N,r}$ satisfy, in probability, \[ r_N^{-1}\sum_{r=1}^{r_N}\delta_{s_{N,r}}\Longrightarrow\nu,\qquad \max_{r\le r_N}\operatorname{dist}(s_{N,r},\operatorname{supp}\nu)\to0, \] for a deterministic compactly supported law $\nu$ on $[0,\infty)$. For bounded continuous $f$, with $\sigma_N$ the uniform probability on $\|x\|^2=N$, put \[ F_N=N^{-1}\log\int e^{\sum_{r=1}^Mf((A_Nx)_r)}\,d\sigma_N(x). \] Then $F_N$ converges in probability and mean to a deterministic $F_{\alpha,\nu}(f)$. Its finite spectral-block formula is \[ \sup_{\rho_i>0,\ \sum_i\rho_i=1} \left\{\frac12\sum_iv_i\log(\rho_i/v_i)+ \alpha P_p^f\left((s_j^2\rho_j/\alpha)_{j=1}^h\right)\right\}. \] Here positive singular-value blocks have $n_j/M\to p_j>0$, $v_j=\alpha p_j$, and $\sum_jp_j=\min(1,1/\alpha)$; when $\alpha<1$ an input null block has $v_0=1-\alpha$. The angular functional $P_p^f(a)$ is the deterministic limit, as $M\to\infty$, of \[ M^{-1}\log\int\exp\left(\sum_{r=1}^Mf\left(\sum_jy_{j,r}\right)\right) \prod_jd\sigma_{E_j,Ma_j}(y_j), \] where mutually orthogonal Haar subspaces $E_j\subset\mathbb R^M$ have dimension ratios $p_j$, and $\sigma_{E_j,Ma_j}$ is uniform probability on their spheres of squared radius $Ma_j$ (a point mass for $a_j=0$). Taking increasingly fine operator-norm spectral approximations gives $F_{\alpha,\nu}(f)$. Blocks of vanishing proportion are omitted.Outline of the argument
Marked probability cascades encode the overlap hierarchy while orthogonal invariance controls coordinate cavity increments. Conditional change-of-measure calculations and spectral data determine the disorder contribution; smooth compactly supported activations are handled first and then approximation removes that regularity.Formal verification
For family 222, the spherical Gaussian perceptron pressure formula is included. The Ising companion entry only proves finite variational value for bounded continuous log-potentials; it neither gives its pressure convergence nor the bounded-Borel extension. A spherical-field supplement supplies a dual approximation formula. No Comparator is assigned to the selected manuscript here; the family page selects other papers or supporting statements. This site has not executed the Lean code. The scope descriptions do not certify the remaining manuscript arguments.Status caveat
OpenAI attributes these manuscripts to work by an internal model. Its release cautions that arguments without formalization can contain mistakes. This catalogue has not independently checked the proofs; the labels report the mathematical claims attributed to OpenAI.Sources
