Human-Centered Learning Mechanics: A Dynamical Framework for Entropy-Regulated Representation Learning
Deep learning is increasingly viewed as a dynamical process in parameter space, yet many existing theories still treat training as a closed optimization system. This view is limited for real-world AI, where models operate under uncertainty, resource constraints, distribution shift, downstream decision risks, and human feedback. We propose Human-Centered Learning Mechanics (HCLM), a dynamical and information-theoretic framework for open and controlled learning systems. The central idea is that entropy regularization is useful only when the chosen entropy surrogate generates a non-degenerate information force along the optimization trajectory. Otherwise, entropy terms may produce weak, unst...
