Moonshine 是一个以生成数学猜想为核心的自主智能体。其核心能力是从经典问题中提取结构,提炼新概念,并提出具有数学意义的猜想。不同于仅解决单一命题,Moonshine 通过猜想生成、桥梁构建和障碍识别,逐步建立可扩展的理论框架。本文以雅可比猜想探索为例,将局部非退化是否强制全局单射的逻辑,转化为一隐藏层仿射-脊状激活网络的问题。由此提出 extit{神经雅可比猜想}(NJC):若此类网络在整个空间上雅可比行列式严格为正,则必为全局单射。借助 GPT-5.5-pro 和 DeepSeek-V4-pro 独立完成 $N=n+1$ 情况的完整证明;并通过与 ChatGPT 交互使用其网页接口与 GPT-5.5-pro 协作,发展出几何拓扑证明。这些结果为猜想的合理性提供了初步证据。然而,更高宽度情形 $N \ geq n+2$ 仍待解决,留待进一步研究。本工作展示了 Moonshine 自主生成有意义数学问题并取得严谨进展的能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Moonshine is an autonomous agent whose central objective is to generate mathematical conjectures. Its core capability is to extract structure from classical problems, distill new concepts, and formulate conjectures of mathematical significance. Rather than treating the solution of a single proposition as its endpoint, Moonshine builds an extensible theoretical framework through conjecture generation, bridge building, and obstacle identification. This article uses Moonshine's exploration of the Jacobian conjecture as an example. It shows how the central logic of whether local nondegeneracy can force global injectivity is transferred to one-hidden-layer affine-ridge sigmoid networks. This leads to the formulation of the \emph{Neural Jacobian Conjecture} (NJC): if such a network has strictly positive Jacobian determinant on the whole space, then it must be globally injective. By invoking GPT-5.5-pro and DeepSeek-V4-pro separately, Moonshine obtained independent complete proofs for the case \(N=n+1\). In addition, with the assistance of ChatGPT through interactive use of its web interface with GPT-5.5-pro, a geometric-topological proof was developed. These results provide preliminary evidence for the plausibility of the conjecture. The general higher-width case \(N\ge n+2\), however, remains unresolved and is left for further investigation. This work illustrates Moonshine's ability to autonomously generate meaningful mathematical problems and make rigorous progress on them.
