No such thing has been "mathematically proven." The emergent behavior of ML models is their notable characteristic. The whole point is that their ability to do anything is emergent behavior.

Here's a white paper explicitly proving:

  1. No emergent properties (illusory due to bad measures)
  2. Predictable linear progress with model size

The field changes fast, I understand it is hard to keep up

Sure, if you define "emergent abilities" just so. It's obvious from context that this is not what I described.

Their paper uses industry standard definitions

Their paper uses terminology that makes sense in context. It's not a definition of "emergent behavior."
