arXiv:2602.03970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the statistical behavior of reasoning probes in a stylized model of iterative computation inspired by neural algorithmic reasoning. The underlying computation is given by a looped Boolean circuit whose graph is a perfect $\nu$-ary tree ($\nu\ge 2$), with outputs recursively fed back as inputs across computation rounds. A probe observes a sampled subset of internal nodes and seeks to infer the latent operation at each node, represented as a probability distribution over a finite set of admissible Boolean gates.
