Applying numeric reduction to the Fibonacci series produces an infinite series of 24 repeating digits: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 4, 3, 7, 1, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2, 8, 1, 9 If you take the first 12 digits, add them to the second 12 digits, and then apply numeric reduction to the result, you find that they all have a value of 9.

There is nothing stopping models from moving beyond monolithic constant time approximations. We know it works. We know it expands the [algorithmic power](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.02098) of models. It's already happening. It is a path from interpolation/memorization to generalization. It is a fundamental difference in kind. There may not need to be any other breakthroughs.
