Compressed Consensus Gradient Tracking

Replace full-precision all-reduce parameter averaging in synchronous distributed training with the paper's compressed gradient-tracking recursion. Each worker maintains a model state, a gradient-tracker state, and two communication memories; only compressed differences from the memories are exchanged, while the tracker preserves the global-gradient increment despite compression.

Cyclic Lie-Bracket Residual Block

Replace one deterministic residual update with a short cyclic composition of learned vector fields evaluated for randomized, short run times. Because finite compositions of noncommuting flows generate directional-derivative and Lie-bracket terms, changing the cycle order gives the network an explicit, low-cost way to learn drift directions that are unavailable from the individual vector fields alone.
