Adaptive Ballistic-to-Diffusive Propagation Schedule
Use dephasing as a depth- or time-dependent control variable rather than a fixed regularizer: early layers retain coherent transport for feature discrimination, while later layers increase dephasing to eliminate unstable high-frequency oscillations. The schedule is selected from an observable spectral or correlation ratio, giving a falsifiable switch point instead of tuning noise blindly.
