Bochner's Theorem and the Kernel–Fourier Bridge
For continuous stationary positive-definite kernels, Bochner’s theorem turns kernel design into a choice of spectral measure. We derive random Fourier features, connect positional rotations to frequency, and explain where the bridge to attention and spectral transformers needs extra assumptions.
