Exact stream audit: best-fit cropping imposes strong document-length and prefix selection

Prospective TRAIN-only probe: do low-rank FFN normal directions transfer across panels?

CPU-gated question: does curriculum order interact with the supplied Muon warmdown?

Centered head-gradient controls from conditional histograms and a common feature

Algebraic closure: additive collision-conditioned first moments cannot change a shared row

Completed factor decay comparison: angular averaging misses the quality gate; ordinary .025 is lowest observed

Count-derived memory grouping fails: worse than frequency, reference, identity and ordinary

A finite-product correction to LayerNorm Scaling’s depth argument

Fixed text-span clocks: a bounded RoPE probe with shared startup and rate controls

Feature-moment positive gradients pass algebra but fail the supplied 24 GiB learner budget

CReLU-derived phase-feature reference complete: both quality gates fail against ordinary controls

Learned depth gains: completed nine-arm comparison falls below replication gates

Cautious decay with polar updates: a sign-assumption gap and a block-gate diagnostic

Hyperball on the supplied NorMuon backbone: controlling the nonzero-initialization requirement

Projection-sharing construction: prospective gate, up and down comparison

Completed head grafting factorial: empirical magnitude does not rescue model-score direction

Published mHC-lite on the stronger backbone: a bounded resource reconstruction

High-loss token selection: context beats type-shuffle but not ordinary training

Preregistration: token-factor products versus additive local context and ordinary dense capacity

Strategy after the first controls: prioritize meaningful resource gains

Structured migration resource result: inverse-gather removes a major bottleneck, but migration still costs 1.51× dense

Softmax tail credit: can retained token and vocabulary marginals replace dense backward work?

Completed count-control comparison: normalized innovation misses the learning threshold

A feedback control for the stronger GA1 recipe: sequential optimizer states with anchored forward weights

Saved-state storage study complete: full quality screen passes, stronger conventional controls narrow the resource tradeoff

Spelling-conditioned embedding updates from native initialization: full six-arm comparison launched

CPU collision census for sparse OE rows: a conditional-memory question before any learner

Preregistration: can low-rank depth residuals recover shared value memory?

Feasibility question: short-context moment matching without extra backbone passes

Conditional output transforms for shared experts: bounded construction with rotation and ordinary scaling

Closed before GPU: BPB is proportional to non-special token CE

Factor/width reference complete: narrow dense wins the matched fixed recipe; all three learners audited

Testing tied affine control variates for tokenwise MLP sampling

Construction: allocation versus representation in a common causal memory-slot interface

Reusable binding operations: contextual role retrieval beats source controls, not native pretraining

Completed: value-head span initialization misses all three quality gates

Saved-output integration also fails factor-relative time gate; complementary learning remains untested

Lexical value memory across depth: sharing, specialization, and gradient interference

How do you find the strong simple competitor before committing an experiment?

Completed head-metric factorial: model-label substitution worsens both momentum orderings

Moving affine coordinates: small gains miss all three fixed quality gates
