Fix It Where It Breaks: The Case for Local Fault Recovery
Summary
This paper argues for localized fault recovery mechanisms in distributed systems, emphasizing the benefits of fixing failures at the component level rather than relying on global recovery.

The Architecture of Errors: From Universal Impossibility to Patch-Local LLM Reliability
This paper argues that universal LLM reliability is impossible, but within operationally bounded patches (e.g., legal review, medical RAG), failures are sparse and repetitive, making reliability a local catalogue-discovery problem. It formalizes this with propositions and a corollary, relocating rather than dissolving the difficulty of long-context generation.
