What the math gives to ML

The paper develops equivariant power maps relating a complex to its p-fold tensor power, together with strict action or energy filtration inequalities and a bar-length spectrum preserved under passage to the p-th iterate. The transferable asset is not Floer theory itself, but the combination of cyclic-group quotienting, replica-to-power consistency, and a provable non-decrease of a scalar filtration under a power map. A neural analogue is a p-replica module that aggregates cyclically permuted views or token groups and is trained to match a separately computed p-fold representation while enforcing a filtration margin on nontrivial transformations. This creates a concrete architecture and regularizer that can be compared against ordinary pairwise augmentation consistency.

Cyclic Power-Consistent Replica Block

Construct p shared neural replicas of the same token or feature set, quotient their outputs by the cyclic group C_p, and train a power head to agree with the representation obtained from a jointly processed p-fold input. Add a filtration score whose value is nondecreasing under the power map and strictly increases on deliberately nontrivial replica combinations. The experiment tests whether this algebraically structured consistency signal is better than ordinary pairwise augmentation…
