# Chapter "The Coherent State of Attention": how the output responds to temperature

`ChapterSoftmaxFluctuation` differentiates the attention *weights* in the inverse
temperature.  This module differentiates the **output** of the head, and finds the
vector-valued fluctuation–response law

`d/dβ  headOutput β s v  =  Cov(s, v)  =  ⟨s·v⟩ − ⟨s⟩·⟨v⟩`,

the covariance of the alignment score with the value vector under the current
attention distribution.

* `scoreValueCovariance` — the covariance vector, and `scoreValueCovariance_eq_sub`
  its familiar `⟨s v⟩ − ⟨s⟩⟨v⟩` form;
* `hasDerivAt_headOutput` / `deriv_headOutput` — **the response law**;
* `scoreValueCovariance_const` — a head whose values agree has zero response: with
  nothing to choose between, sharpening does nothing;
* `norm_scoreValueCovariance_le` — the response is bounded by (value bound) ×
  (score spread);
* `norm_headOutput_sub_le_temperature` — hence the whole temperature family is
  Lipschitz in `β`: `‖out(γ) − out(β)‖ ≤ C·(s_max − s_min)·|γ − β|`.

The last bound is the quantitative statement that an attention head cannot react
violently to a change of temperature unless its scores are genuinely spread out.

Everything here is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`,
`Classical.choice`, `Quot.sound`).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
