Represent each feature as belonging to one of three \(\mathbb{Z}_3\) charge sectors and constrain every linear and multiplicative operation to obey charge addition modulo 3. Add invariant cubic gates such as \(x_1x_2x_3\) or \(x_q^3\), which can express the same phase-insensitive interaction selected by the paper's three-photon drive. This should improve data efficiency and exact cyclic-augmentation consistency when the task has a genuine ternary symmetry.

Build an implicit layer from a piecewise-linear maximal monotone operator on visible variables z_* and auxiliary variables z_**, then eliminate the auxiliary block rather than exposing it in the network output. Compute the layer through a fixed point of the eliminated component of a nonexpansive resolvent, with damping when the auxiliary map is not strictly contractive.

Replace a generic three-input concatenation MLP with a permutation-symmetric mixer built from the four signed combinations x+y-z, x-y+z, -x+y+z, and -x-y-z. Apply a shared truncated exponential to these combinations and aggregate symmetric pairwise products, producing controlled quadratic and higher-order interactions without materializing a full trilinear tensor.

Factor a neural linear layer as W = M A, where A is randomized at initialization and M is a deterministic channel mixer or learned feature transform. Regularize M toward low inverse-Hilbert–Schmidt norm under a scale constraint, because the paper's theorem predicts that this raises the high-probability lower bound on s_min(W) and reduces near-singular initialization events.

Replace a standard two-layer multiplicative interaction block with auxiliary positive features X whose neighboring products generate two coupled feature grids x and y. Add the Y-diamond recurrence as either a hard recurrent update or a differentiable consistency loss, forcing local interactions to obey the same compatibility structure as an SL2/Y-frieze.

Use the paper's explicit tree support pattern as a cheap certificate that a sparse neural linear map contains a nearly singular submatrix. During mask construction or rewiring, penalize root-row-child configurations with many disjoint child branches, or increase overlap and row degree locally when such a configuration is detected. The goal is to prevent sparse MLP, projection, or MoE expert matrices from developing directions that are almost annihilated by the layer.

Replace a neural layer's dense parameters by a real parameter tensor and a binary activity mask, then update the mask using importance scores measured across multiple perturbation intervals. Gates that repeatedly occur in non-dominated accuracy–cost configurations receive larger scores and are more likely to be retained or activated, avoiding uniformly random sparse rewiring.

Replace an unconstrained order-k weight tensor with a sum of components that are symmetric only within selected contiguous index blocks. This preserves interactions between blocks while tying parameters under within-block permutations, providing a tunable middle ground between a fully dense tensor and a fully symmetric tensor.

Add a fractional oscillation penalty to scalar functions produced by a neural network on an ordered grid. Unlike a derivative penalty, this remains meaningful for nonsmooth or nowhere-differentiable outputs and interpolates between total-variation-like behavior and Sobolev-like smoothness.

Insert a rearrangement operation on scalar feature maps sampled along an ordered coordinate such as time, spatial position, or a neural-field input grid. The operation sorts values into non-increasing order, preserving the empirical histogram exactly while provably not increasing the Riesz fractional variation in the ideal one-dimensional continuous setting.

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.

Represent the prediction as a sum of a smooth interior branch and a fractional boundary branch: u_theta(x)=u_int_theta(x)+d(x)^a u_bd_theta(x). This mirrors the paper's direct-sum solution structure and allocates separate network capacity to the globally regular component and the boundary layer.

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.

For two monotone prediction heads receiving binary features, penalize cases where their covariance is smaller than the sharp degree-weighted collision of their Fourier spectra. This discourages uncontrolled agreement on high-order interaction patterns while preserving low-order shared structure, and can be used either as a constraint or as a diagnostic for monotone multi-task models.

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.

Replace ordinary summation of several matrix-valued residual branches by a concave spectral aggregation: form the branch sum, take its absolute value, and apply a nonnegative concave function to singular values.
