that's not really how eigenvalues work... they specifically also model the case where the result keeps changing exponentially.

The claim is that the RSI operation is just finding a fixed point of improvement,

RSI(LLM) = RSI(LLM) -- for an optimal LLM* which is a fixed point of RSI

As for eigenvalues/vectors, they're fixed points of (1/val)A or A*val

  • Eigenvectors represent fixed directions, not fixed magnitudes. From Wikipedia:

    > More precisely, an eigenvector v of a linear transformation T is scaled by a constant factor lambda when the linear transformation is applied to it: Tv = lambda v .

    In other words, repeated multiplication of an eigenvector by a matrix can still create exponential growth.
