contents We present a novel approach for controllable mathematical reasoning that leverages self-optimizing thought vectors with entropy minimization. Our method introduces learnable thought vectors that dynamically modulate the internal reasoning process of large language models. Using Gemma-2-9B on GSM8K, we achieve 90.1% accuracy with a controllability score of 0.42, demonstrating that entropy-based rewards effectively guide focused reasoning patterns without requiring external reward annotations. Our analysis reveals distinct thought vector clusters and consistent low-entropy distributions across control conditions, validating our framework for controllable AI reasoning.
