Dependence-Adaptive Timestep Controller
Use an online estimate of the target distribution's remaining coordinate dependence to choose diffusion step sizes instead of using a uniform timestep grid. Take large jumps when the current state is nearly coordinate-factorized and shorten the step when the denoiser detects strong cross-coordinate dependence, targeting the paper's dependence-adaptive discretization scaling.
