Jacobian-Free Short-Trace Backpropagation

Use a full primal-dual optimization solve in the forward pass, but backpropagate only through the last r iterations starting from a detached warm-start iterate. This avoids storing the full solver trajectory while preserving the forward solution, and provides a tunable bias-versus-memory tradeoff: r=0 is a cheap surrogate gradient, while increasing r should converge toward the implicit equilibrium gradient.

Spectral-Width Prethermal Training Schedule

Use the paper's lifetime law as a controller for training or rollout difficulty. Estimate the active perturbation bandwidth R of hidden states or forecast errors and reduce the residual gain, increase the dispersion order W, or inject controlled bandwidth whenever the estimated prethermal lifetime becomes too short.
