What the math gives to ML
The paper provides a constructive block-replacement mechanism for approximating ergodic invariant measures using controlled symbolic blocks. Its transferable machinery is a Følner tiling, separation of block interiors from boundaries, and a quantitative propagation bound showing that local-frequency errors remain small when the boundary-to-volume ratio is small. This can be transferred to sequence-model augmentation and curriculum learning: construct long, globally coherent training contexts by replacing block interiors with samples from a frequency-matched library while preserving boundary regions. The falsifiable prediction is that distortion of local pattern statistics decreases with block size according to the boundary-to-volume ratio, rather than growing with sequence length.

Construct augmented sequences by tiling long contexts with large finite blocks sampled from a library whose local-pattern frequencies match a target dataset, replacing only block interiors and leaving boundary zones untouched. This produces globally coherent synthetic contexts while controlling the distortion of short-range statistics through an explicit boundary-to-volume ratio.
