{ "worked": false, "confidence": 9, "verdict": "Implemented the positive-measure span regularizer as an auxiliary loss on the shared mlp_tiny encoder and ran the full 8-seed tabular benchmark with a matched three-point learning-rate sweep. The idea produced a negligible MSE improvement (delta=-0.001512, permutation p=0.69225) and only a tiny effective-rank increase (1.014278 to 1.014433), so there is no significant task-metric win; the mechanism direction was observed but not substantively strong.", "metrics": { "baseline": "best lr=0.01; mean test MSE=8.0089843", "idea": "best shared lr=0.01; mean test MSE=8.0074723; paired delta=-0.0015120; permutation p=0.69225; mean held-out effective rank 1.014278 -> 1.014433" }, "how_to_run": "/home/maxwelhelp/main/bin/python3 run_bench.py", "files": [ "run_bench.py", "bench_report.json" ], "limitations": "Only the structurally matched built-in tabular track was tested; vision, sequence, and dynamics tracks were not applicable to this encoder regularizer.
