What the math gives to ML
The paper constructs an explicit Schur multiplier whose ordinary action on a Schatten class is strictly less stable than its completely bounded, tensor-amplified action near p=4. This distinguishes stability on scalar feature matrices from stability when every scalar entry is replaced by a learned channel block. The transferable mechanism is to regularize entrywise masks using finite amplification norms, especially for attention or graph layers whose behavior can worsen under channel replication.

Regularize a learned entrywise attention or graph mask using both its ordinary Schatten-p operator norm and the norm of finite channel-block amplifications. This targets masks that look stable on scalar matrices but become unstable when each token-to-token interaction acts on multi-channel feature blocks.
