Replace a dense channel-mixing matrix in a sequence layer with alternating diagonal propagation and sparse unipotent Stokes jumps. The diagonal part carries independently controlled exponential phases, while the unipotent factors implement cheap residual-like mode conversion without changing determinant or requiring a dense matrix multiply. Constrain the phase magnitudes and jump coefficients during training to obtain a reversible, norm-monitorable mixer.

Use the layer at which persistent connected components and holes disappear to allocate capacity nonuniformly across a network. If representations simplify much earlier than desired, widen the responsible layers or insert an additional block; if simplification is excessively delayed, avoid spending parameters there. This turns persistent-homology COM into an actionable architecture-search signal rather than a post-hoc visualization.

Use a tanh MLP with an explicitly tracked Pfaffian-chain complexity and select its width and input sparsity using the paper's zero-count bound. The bound limits the number of regular decision-boundary crossings along one-dimensional data-space restrictions, so it provides a principled way to discourage excessively oscillatory fits beyond ordinary weight decay.

Train an MLP coordinate map so that its local scale distortion is smooth in the interior and approximately constant on the boundary of the parameter domain. This implements the Chebyshev-Darboux-Milnor principle as a regularizer for neural parameterizations, potentially reducing boundary stretching and improving interpolation quality on learned geometric domains.

Add a scale-invariant inequality penalty to a neural vector-potential model on a discretized round 3-sphere. The penalty enforces the theorem's sharp lower bound between the L^{3/2} norm of the predicted magnetic field B=curl A and its helicity H=<B,A>, discouraging pathological high-frequency or spatially concentrated fields that fit observations but have implausible geometry. A divergence-free gauge and Killing-form initialization make the constraint numerically well-conditioned.

For every unordered pair of scalar features, construct invariant coordinates from the elementary symmetric quantities s=x+y and q=xy, then feed a truncated orthogonalized polynomial basis in (s,q) to the neural network. Estimate the basis by weighted Gram-Schmidt or Cholesky whitening under the paper's triangle weight, so polynomial channels have low redundancy and controlled scale instead of requiring an unconstrained MLP to learn both symmetry and decorrelation.

Replace uniform PINN or neural-operator collocation by a graded point distribution concentrated in narrow regions between nearly touching interfaces. Use the paper's distance-dependent mesh scale to determine point spacing, and switch to a gap-dependent minimum scale when the separation becomes too small for the global mesh.

Replace an unconstrained linear map on matrix-valued features by an exact operator-norm isometry assembled from parallel copies of X and its transpose. Contractive compression matrices and unitary basis changes allow a wider family than ordinary orthogonal layers, while a contractive remainder can increase output width without increasing the layer's spectral norm.

Split the trainable state into an explicit scalar scale coordinate and a residual perturbation, then update them with separate time scales. Penalize residuals according to their distance from the scale-dependent core, so the optimizer cannot obtain apparent progress by destabilizing the scale mode. The method is a neural optimization analogue of the paper's modulation argument, not a direct consequence of the geometric singularity theorem.

Use the logarithmic exhaustion as a geometry for bounded hidden representations rather than only as a parameter constraint. A representation approaching the boundary receives an increasingly large metric, making ordinary Euclidean motion expensive and discouraging brittle saturation while preserving a bounded intrinsic gradient for the boundary coordinate.

Use linking number as a diagnostic and optional regularizer for representations of paired closed data manifolds. The probe identifies layers that collapse or separate class geometry through collisions and folds, giving an architecture-selection signal beyond loss and Jacobian singular values.

Estimate the simplex-based ratio of a target or learned convex piecewise-linear polytope and use the theorem \(\rho_\Delta(P)\le 2^d-1\) to choose a minimum useful ReLU depth. During training, monitor whether the learned polytope is approaching a high-\(\rho\) target; if it is, widen the model without increasing depth only when the diagnostic indicates that depth is the bottleneck.

Add an inverse-capacitary-distance penalty to coordinate-network outputs near complex forbidden sets, rather than using only Euclidean distance-to-boundary weighting. The penalty is theoretically compatible with the network's spatial Dirichlet energy: it suppresses large values near obstacles while the gradient penalty controls the weighted singularity, even when the obstacle is thin, perforated, or fractal-like.

Add a bank of quadratic features encoding tangent contact with the reciprocal manifold x1 x2 = 1, rather than forcing a generic MLP to discover this interaction from arbitrary monomials. For positive bounded feature pairs, each feature is nonnegative and becomes exactly zero at a selected reciprocal operating point. The module can be used either as an input feature expansion or as a regularizer encouraging learned gates and scales to follow a reciprocal geometry.

Add a norm-controlled feature mixer that applies a polynomial spectral filter to the channel covariance of a transformer or MLP block. A quadratic filter centered at \(\rho\) suppresses covariance eigenmodes far from the target and preserves modes near it, providing a tunable alternative to purely variance-maximizing mixing or standard normalization.

Add a two-output anti-collapse regularizer based on the determinant of the Jacobian Gram matrix, together with a penalty against proportional highest-degree coefficient tensors. The paper's inequality predicts that preserving coefficient non-proportionality prevents the output distribution from concentrating on thin curves or tiny regions, potentially improving coverage of a two-dimensional latent or generative output.
