Hopfield-network proofs #
This entrypoint collects the discrete Hopfield proof development:
- Boolean state bookkeeping;
- the classical symmetric-zero-diagonal energy function;
- one-coordinate update energy monotonicity;
- full-sweep progress; and
- convergence to a fixed point within a finite bound.
The proofs follow the standard Lyapunov-energy analysis of Hopfield networks, stated over TorchLean's spec-level model so the theorem layer and model layer share one semantics.
