- paper/pnas -> paper/manuscript (venue-neutral)
- configs/layer1 -> configs/inheritance, src/knowledge -> src/inheritance
(imported as `inheritance`), make layer1 -> make inheritance; layer2 alias dropped
- inheritance and trained-network bundles named after the manuscript figure
they feed (fig2_grounding_sweep, figS3_rebaselining, ...), or descriptively
where they feed none; configs keep their `experiment:` value so parquet
hashes are unchanged, only output.dir moves
- figure scripts, SI figure sources, notebooks, REPRODUCING.md, README and the
SI Methods/tables updated; make clean no longer deletes tracked manifests;
reproduce.sh hashes the s{seed}/ layouts too

# (Layer 1.5 external-validity tier; maps to Layer-1 E1/E2 and neural collapse/grounding): does
|
|
# model collapse — and its rescue by grounding — appear on REAL MNIST images, not just the
|
|
# synthetic sandbox? A convolutional VAE (the canonical model in which generative collapse was
|
|
# first observed) is retrained each generation on the previous VAE's own generated images, plus a
|
|
# fraction g of fresh REAL MNIST images (grounding). Modes = digit class x stroke-thickness bin
|
|
# (K=30) resampled to a Zipf p*; a frozen CNN + deterministic thickness is the oracle (its
|
|
# confusion matrix, recorded in the manifest, is the measurement-noise floor). Expect (per E1/E2):
|
|
# the dry arm (g=0) collapses — rare modes die, forward-KL climbs, support shrinks — while a
|
|
# grounded arm holds the tail. This is confirmation-only: SIGNS, not magnitudes (blueprint 3.5);
|
|
# the exact synthetic oracle remains the anchor for every quantitative comparison. Falsifier: the
|
|
# dry VAE shows no diversity loss, or grounding fails to arrest it.
