"""`grounding` figure — the neural grounding response in REAL weights (↔ Layer-1 E2).

Honest reframing (see the progress log): the RNN's smoothing inductive bias makes H and
tail-SURVIVAL the *wrong* neural collapse metrics — the model keeps spurious tail support
alive even while its distribution drifts far from truth, so tail_truth_mass_alive is flat /
non-monotone in g. The operative neural collapse metric is FORWARD-KL, on which grounding's
effect is monotone and significant. The sharp Layer-1 threshold (g*=0.048) is an *exact-
operator* feature reproduced quantitatively by the histogram bridge (g*=0.047); the trained
RNN confirms it in SIGN and softens it in sharpness.

Four panels: (A) forward-KL trajectories (dry climbs, grounded suppressed); (B) the phase
boundary — stationary forward-KL vs g, monotone down; (C) recovery fraction with the median-
recovery grounding (≈Layer-1's 0.048) and the note that full recovery needs much more g in a
smoothing model; (D) the metric-choice panel — H and tail-survival are flat/non-monotone
while forward-KL responds. Reads only the committed bundle.
