What You Can't See Is What You Learn: Slot-Selective Evidence Masking Favors Compositional Generalization in Shared-Genome Language-Model Societies
Multi-module neural systems often expose every module to the full input. We test whether a slot-selective evidence-masking regime -- restricting each module to its own evidence span -- changes which solutions gradient-based training discovers. Four-cell societies share one frozen pretrained language model and one low-r...
