Beyond the Readout: A Latent Numerical Frame Shared Across Modality and Operation.

arXiv:2610.37422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a multimodal model computes 17+35 from text or 91-39 from a rendered image, it produces the same answer, 52. Does it use one internal concept of number for both, or separate machinery for each path? Similari
