Extended Deep Triangle (EDT) encompasses a range of methodologies and frameworks in mathematics, quantum computing, insurance risk analytics, LLMing, and computer vision. Across these contexts, EDT is characterized by structural depth, modularity, and advanced algorithmic or architectural mechanisms that extend foundational models. The primary domains of EDT include quantum query algorithms for triangle finding, lattice quantum gravity via Euclidean dynamical triangulations, multivariate actuarial prediction using neural and generative models, dynamic temperature sampling in language generation, and efficient transformer-based diffusion models in image synthesis.

1. Quantum Algorithms: Extended Deep Triangle in Triangle Finding

In quantum query complexity, "Extended Deep Triangle" denotes an approach for efficiently detecting triangles in a graph by exploiting layered searches and extended learning graph frameworks (Carette et al., 2016). Traditional quantum walk and adaptive learning graph algorithms for Triangle Finding are structurally deep, decomposing the search over several stages on subsets of vertices and edges.

The extended learning graph model generalizes non-adaptive/adaptive learning graphs by supporting dual edge weight assignments: one weight $w^0$ for negative instances ($f(x)=0$) and one weight $w^1$ for positive instances ($f(x)=1$). The complexity of such a graph $C(G)$ is given by

$$C(G) = \sqrt{ \max_{x\in f^{-1}(0)} \sum_e w^0_x(e) \times \max_{y \in f^{-1}(1)} \sum_e \frac{p_y(e)^2}{w^1_y(e)} }$$

For dense graphs, this modular approach yields a quantum query complexity $O(n^{5/4})$ by strategically choosing subsets ($a = n^{3/4}, b = x = \sqrt{n}$) and compressing search subroutines via super edges such as DenseLoad/SparseLoad. In sparse graphs, EDT-inspired frameworks achieve $O(n^{11/12} m^{1/6} \sqrt{\log n})$ or $O(n^{5/6} (m \log n)^{1/6} + d_2 \sqrt{n})$, with the latter explicitly incorporating variance of the degree distribution $d_2$.

The EDT approach enables hierarchical, deep search patterns while simplifying combinatorial analysis relative to previous quantum walk models. It is particularly suited for combinatorial problems requiring multi-layered structural reasoning.

2. Lattice Quantum Gravity: Euclidean Dynamical Triangulations

In quantum gravity, EDT refers to Euclidean Dynamical Triangulations (Ambjorn, 2022)—a lattice regularization methodology constructing spacetime as a statistical ensemble of simplicial manifolds (triangulations). The EDT framework replaces integrals over smooth geometries with discrete sums over triangulations $T$, each weighted by a discretization of the gravitational (Einstein–Hilbert) action:

$$S_T(\kappa_2, \kappa_4) = -\kappa_2 N_2(T) + \kappa_4 N_4(T)$$

where $N_2(T)$ and $N_4(T)$ denote the number of two- and four-simplices, and $\kappa_2$, $\kappa_4$ act as effective bare coupling constants. The partition function is

$$Z(\kappa_2, \kappa_4) = \sum_T \frac{1}{C_T} e^{-S_T(\kappa_2, \kappa_4)}$$

EDT's success in two dimensions is marked by exact solvability and analytical tractability, yielding Liouville quantum gravity with Hausdorff dimension $d_H = 4$. In four dimensions, triangulated Regge calculus enables investigation of non-perturbative ultraviolet fixed points (asymptotic safety) by studying phase transitions where correlation lengths diverge, permitting the continuum limit $a \rightarrow 0$ along lines of constant physics.

EDT is foundational in attempts to define a consistent quantum gravity at sub-Planckian scales, with the phase structure governed by lattice RG flow and critical surface analysis.

3. Insurance Analytics: Extended Deep Triangle for Multivariate Loss Reserving

In actuarial science, the Extended Deep Triangle (EDT) framework is an advanced system combining the Deep Triangle model (DT, a GRU-based RNN for sequence-to-sequence prediction) with generative adversarial networks (GANs) to capture both temporal and cross-LOB dependencies (Cai et al., 16 Feb 2024).

For each company, incremental paid losses $Y_{(i, j)}^{(\ell)}$ (standardized by exposure) across accident and development years for multiple lines of business are fed into a sequence-to-sequence GRU architecture:

• Input sequence: $q_n = (Y_{(i, n)}^{(1)}, Y_{(i, n)}^{(2)})$
• Hidden state update: $$h_n = z_n \odot \tilde{h}_n + (1-z_n) \odot h_{n-1}$$

DT provides point estimates for reserves. EDT augments this by sampling synthetic upper triangles using GAN variants (CTGAN, CopulaGAN, block bootstrap), generating a predictive distribution of reserves used to calculate value-at-risk (VaR) and tail value-at-risk (TVaR):

$$\text{TVaR}_k(R) = \mathbb{E}[R \mid R \geq \text{VaR}_k(R)]$$

Empirical studies using NAIC Schedule P data demonstrate lower prediction bias, more concentrated reserve distributions, and reduced risk capital relative to copula regression models, reflecting explicit diversification benefits due to cross-LOB dependence learned by EDT.

4. Language Generation: Entropy-based Dynamic Temperature Sampling

In LLMs, EDT denotes Entropy-based Dynamic Temperature Sampling, a decoding strategy for balancing quality and diversity by adaptive temperature selection (Zhang et al., 21 Mar 2024). At each token generation step, EDT computes entropy $H$ of the output distribution:

$H = -\sum_{i=1}^n p_i \log p_i$

The temperature $T$ is then set dynamically:

$T = T_0 \cdot \mathcal{N}^{\theta / H}$

with $T_0$ as baseline temperature, $\mathcal{N}=0.8$, and $\theta$ modulating sensitivity. This mechanism allows the model to increase diversity at high entropy (uncertainty), and prioritize quality at low entropy (confidence). The approach is computationally efficient, requiring only single-path decoding and approximately half the GPU memory compared to parallel KL-divergence methods.

Across summarization, question answering, and translation, EDT achieves improved ROUGE/BLEU scores and tighter diversity-quality trade-off metrics (e.g., lower EDA, better self-BLEU). EDT is largely task-agnostic and supports hyperparameter tuning via analytical gradient relationships, setting a precedent for dynamic decoding strategies in LLM research.

5. Computer Vision: Efficient Diffusion Transformer Framework

In image synthesis, the Efficient Diffusion Transformer (EDT) framework advances transformer-based diffusion probabilistic models, markedly reducing computational requirements while improving synthesis quality (Chen et al., 31 Oct 2024). EDT introduces:

• Lightweight architecture via customized down-sampling: Sequential reduction of token count and computational FLOPs, with AdaLN modules preserving class-condition information.
• Attention Modulation Matrix (AMM): A training-free modulation of self-attention, modeled after human sketching—alternating between global and localized attention according to token distance:

$$m_{ir} = \begin{cases} k \exp[\cos(f d_{ir})] & \text{if } d_{ir} \leq R \ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$

where $d_{ir}$ is Euclidean distance, $k$ a scaling constant, and $f$ a frequency parameter.

• Token Relation-Enhanced Masking: Early transformer blocks process full tokens, deferring masking to down-sampling, which ensures robust learning of inter-token relationships before detail compression.

Performance benchmarks demonstrate superior FID scores and substantial speed-ups (up to $3.93 \times$ in training, $2.29 \times$ in inference for EDT-S). The plug-in nature of AMM facilitates adaptation to other transformer architectures without retraining, supporting practical deployment in resource-constrained settings and real-time synthesis environments.

7. Broader Implications and Modular Structure

Across all domains, EDT denotes an extension of foundational models—through either deep combinatorial search (quantum computing), deep structural composition (statistical physics), neural/generative fusion (insurance analytics), or algorithmic modulation (language and vision modeling). The common architecture is one of modularity, efficient composition, and the ability to reflect both local and global structural dependencies.

A plausible implication is that the EDT paradigm, whether realized as extended learning graphs, dynamical triangulations, or adaptive neural mechanisms, facilitates scalable, generalizable solutions to problems characterized by depth, complexity, and uncertainty across mathematical, physical, and computational systems.
