Pointwise complexity-gated inference

Use a local chaining complexity computed from an empirical input metric to predict stochastic output error for each individual input. Easy, locally concentrated inputs can use fewer dropout, ensemble, or diffusion samples, while high-complexity inputs receive additional computation; unlike a global confidence threshold, the allocation varies with the input.

Permutation-Mixed Orthogonal Quantization

Precondition activation or cache blocks with a fixed product U = A Sigma B of orthogonal transforms and a random signed permutation before quantization or coordinate sampling. The random permutation makes the product incoherent, so energy is less concentrated in a few coordinates and lossy compression should introduce less worst-case distortion.
