The claim says that when κ is below the stated value, chains that fully forget their starting point can still exist, but their correlations do not follow a simple Markovian pattern.

It bears on how solutions can be reached and explored in such constraint problems.","findings":["The statistical measure for sequences of connected solutions agrees well with Monte-Carlo simulations.","Connected states with a Markovian correlation profile can fully decorrelate from their initialization only for κ above a threshold, which scales as the square root of 0.91 log(N) for α=0.5.","Below that threshold, decorrelated sequences still exist but have a non-trivial correlation profile, which the paper studies with a nested Markov chain ansatz."],"terms":[{"term":"binary symmetric perceptron","means":"A model in which a configuration of binary values (+1 or -1) must satisfy many constraints, each bounding a weighted sum of those values within a threshold."},{"term":"decorrelated sequences","means":"Chains of solutions in which the final element has lost its correlation with the starting one."},{"term":"Markovian correlation profile","means":"A pattern of correlations along a sequence in which each step depends only on the previous one, so correlation with the start fades in a simple way."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"arxiv","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-16T01:01:56.217Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-16T01:01:56.217Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
