Title: Computing with Stochastic Oracles in AI-Augmented Computation

Abstract:
arXiv:2607.06893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Stochastic-Oracle Turing Machine (SOTM) framework models AI-augmented computation as the interaction of a probabilistic Turing machine with an oracle whose responses are drawn from context-dependent distributions. This paper studies what an SOTM can achieve under two oracle-response schemes: in a cached-response oracle, each distinct query receives one response that is reused on later calls to the same query, while in a fresh-response oracle,
