Can an AI Agent Rediscover a Blaschke-Curve Invariant?

AI 智能体能否重新发现布拉施克曲线(Blaschke-Curve)的不变量?

Abstract: We study generalized Blaschke curves as a controlled environment for AI-assisted mathematical rediscovery. For one fixed degree-four Blaschke product, an agent receives numerical coordinates of the six pair-lines determined by each of 80 boundary configurations. The target theorem is withheld from the task instructions.

摘要: 我们研究了广义布拉施克曲线,将其作为 AI 辅助数学重新发现的受控环境。针对一个固定的四次布拉施克乘积,智能体接收由 80 种边界配置中每一种所确定的六条配对线的数值坐标。任务指令中并未包含目标定理。

The saved research log reports rejected geometric hypotheses and a homogeneous cubic fitted to polygon sides. Its frozen coefficients predict 480 lines from 80 unseen parameter values, with a recorded RMS scale-free residual of $8.88\times10^{-17}$. Discovery-set diagonals provide an out-of-fit consistency check, not a fully held-out test.

保存的研究日志记录了被否决的几何假设,以及拟合多边形边长的齐次三次方程。其固定的系数根据 80 个未见过的参数值预测了 480 条线,记录的均方根(RMS)无标度残差为 $8.88\times10^{-17}$。发现集中的对角线提供了一种拟合外一致性检查,而非完全独立的测试。

A separate one-configuration run reports insufficient evidence for invariance. A post-review deterministic degree-search baseline also recovers the cubic, so the experiment does not establish an advantage over polynomial fitting. We present this single-instance case study as a protocol for separating conjecture, numerical validation, and proof, with explicit limitations concerning agent metadata, prior knowledge, and reproducibility.

另一项单配置运行报告显示,没有足够的证据证明其不变性。事后审查的确定性次数搜索基准也恢复了该三次方程,因此该实验并未证明其优于多项式拟合。我们提出这一单实例案例研究,作为区分猜想、数值验证和证明的协议,并明确了在智能体元数据、先验知识和可重复性方面的局限性。
