KS-Balanced Spectral Residual Block

Replace or augment a residual neural layer with a Fourier-domain scale-selective flow containing a learned second-order term and a fourth-order stabilizer. The block permits controlled low-frequency amplification, as required by the KS infrared mechanism, while damping high-frequency feature noise and preventing unbounded spectral growth.

Ward-Residual Model Selection

Train a neural approximation to a scale-dependent effective action, energy functional, or field while penalizing the residual of a known continuous-symmetry Ward identity. Select the regulator, smoothing scale, or architecture hyperparameter at the minimum Ward residual, and require that the residual decreases when model capacity or derivative-expansion order increases.

RG-monotone representation compression

Interpret successive neural representations as an RG flow and constrain coarse-graining layers to remove unstable or redundant information monotonically. The paper reports monotonic decrease of an effective central charge along measurement-induced RG flows; a neural analogue can use a measurable information-complexity proxy and reject compression steps that increase it while preserving task-relevant information.
