Commutant-gated spectral loss

Replace per-eigenvector spectral supervision on symmetry-forced multiplets by a projector-trace target determined from the operator family's commutant. Use individual eigenvalue or eigenvector targets only outside detected forced blocks, avoiding arbitrary basis choices and exploding gradients at protected crossings.

Order-Parameter Mode Activation Schedule

Use the paper's order-parameter dynamics to initialize spectral feature modes with deliberately separated activation times. This creates a controlled progressive-learning curriculum in which dominant modes become available first and weaker modes activate later, potentially reducing early gradient interference.
