Horizontal oblique reflection for constrained diffusion
Modify a diffusion or score-based sampler so that boundary reflection is aligned with the model's admissible noise and control directions instead of using the Euclidean normal. At a boundary hit, reflect through the sub-Riemannian diffusion Gram matrix, preserving the anisotropic dynamics and preventing constraint corrections from injecting motion into inaccessible directions.
