The passage around this formula
All of here is shared and randomly initialised at t=0 , and no term is held fixed while another is optimised. That is the formal content of “native”: contrast it with the modular recipe, where the vision and language terms are each minimised separately, over separate data, to convergence, long before the two are ever combined.
