Original abstract

Deep learning models, particularly Transformers and Neural Operators, exhibit a well-documented "spectral bias," effectively acting as low-pass filters that smooth out high-frequency information. While benign in fluid dynamics, this bias is catastrophic for Chaotic Dynamical Systems, where the underlying strange attractor is characterized by fractal geometry and infinite spectral density. We introduce the Fractal Neural Operator (FNO), a novel architecture that utilizes a non-resonant prime number basis to approximate continuous dynamical systems. Unlike geometric encodings ($2^k$), which suffer from spectral gaps and resonance, our Harmonic Weierstrass Encoder injects infinite spectral resolution into the latent space. We demonstrate that FNO extends the valid prediction horizon of the Lorenz-63 system to 347 Lyapunov times, exceeding state-of-the-art Reservoir Computing baselines by a factor of 2.3x. These results suggest that "chaos" is not inherently unpredictable to neural networks, but rather requires non-differentiable, fractal embedding manifolds.
