The context window is not "more memory" but the geometric completion of the addressable coordinate system: it specifically fills the tail *directions* absent from the rank-one parametric subspace, making the full semantic space (parametric + contextual) a closed coordinate system rather than two disjoint mechanisms.
Justifications
SL — The coordinate-gap diagnosis (d6) specifies *what* is missing (specific directions); the infinite-dimension extension (d7) specifies *how* context supplies them. Together they show the context window is the geometric complement, not a frequency-based fallback.
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- OUT long-tail-as-coordinate-coverage-gap-not-capacity-gap — The long-tail knowledge failure is fundamentally a coordinate-coverage problem (the rank-one addressable subspace does not span rare fact directions) rather than a raw parameter-capacity problem, making the 10¹⁵-parameter scaling estimate a misleading reframing of a geometric coverage gap.
- OUT context-extends-semantic-currency-to-infinite-dimension — The context window extends the "universal semantic currency" (covariance geometry) into an effectively unbounded-dimensional space, making the full LLM read/write system a finite-dimensional-plus-infinite-dimensional geometric object rather than a purely finite one.
