Use the Bernoulli corank asymptotic to choose sparsity for binary or sparse linear layers and reject initial matrices with excessive numerical rank deficiency. The layer should also explicitly prevent zero columns, because the paper's probability law indicates that zero-column events are a leading mechanism behind large corank in the sparse regime.

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.

Parameterize candidate eigenfunctions with a neural network, project them into a finite spectral trial space, and compute Ritz eigenvalues from the resulting Galerkin matrices. Train against the paper's rigorous lower-bound transform rather than trusting the raw Ritz values, producing a certificate that the predicted eigenvalues do not underestimate the exact eigenvalues under the projection-error assumptions.

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.

For a coordinate network representing a field near a boundary or interface, factor the prediction as u(x)=h(x)v(x), where h is a known fractional-Hardy ground-state profile, and regularize v with a weighted nonlocal difference energy. Add the corresponding critical Hardy penalty to the loss so that the network spends capacity on the nonsingular residual v instead of relearning the boundary singularity.

Use the paper's dimension-dependent exponent transformation to fuse nonnegative outputs from several branches. Instead of selecting an arbitrary generalized-mean exponent, choose the output exponent q=Q_d(p) induced by an input exponent p, making the fusion rule explicitly sensitive to the dimension of the barycentric variables.

Replace an ordinary input-convex potential with a potential whose Hessian is encouraged to be symmetric positive definite and symplectic. Add a curvature penalty based on the scalar curvature of the Hessian metric, together with a theorem-derived interior target proportional to the inverse squared distance to the domain boundary. This should suppress pathological third-derivative oscillations while preserving nonquadratic structure near boundaries.

Parameterize a nonnegative neural penalty or energy function as a sum of weighted power-mean differences applied to polynomial features of the network representation. Each atom is globally nonnegative by the power-mean inequality, so the learned penalty cannot become negative or destabilize constrained training, while the cone can represent polynomials outside SOS-plus-nonnegative-circuit certificates.

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.

Represent the active experts or channels of a sparse layer by a presence set and impose a reaction-style dependency graph on possible support changes. During a growth phase, activate only the least support set closed under enabled dependencies; during later pruning, allow trajectory-dependent removals but never add structurally unreachable experts. This should reduce routing churn and dead experts while preserving adaptive sparsity.

Insert a fixed polynomial mixer before an MLP or retrieval index for tuples of discrete features. The mixer maps n+2 bounded scalar feature codes to one or several expanded scalar codes, and the paper's theorem guarantees that its image cannot collapse below order |A|^n when all coordinates come from a finite alphabet A. Use multiple independent permutations or coefficient choices to obtain a vector representation while retaining the deterministic algebraic structure.
