The Transformer has reshaped machine learning, yet its now-canonical architecture was assembled empirically rather than derived from first principles. Its components--content-based attention, residual connections, layer normalisation, positional signals, and feed-forward networks--were justified by benchmark performance, not by a theory of why the whole should work. This book provides that missing theory, developing a mathematical account in which architectural choices cease to be independent hyperparameters and become derived objects tied to a small number of geometric and dynamical quantities that can be measured, diagnosed, and controlled.
