Boundary-normal trust-region flow

Replace the assumption that strong convexity keeps optimization inside a valid parameter chart with an explicit viability condition on the chart boundary. For Lie-group neural-network parameters or bounded latent coordinates, modify each update so its velocity has nonpositive outward radial component, using either a radial barrier or projection onto the tangent cone.

Perturbation-Resilient Relaxed Projection Stack

Use relaxed affine-projection layers as a stable iterative stack with an explicit perturbation monitor. The monitor estimates approximation error from quantization, dropout, stochastic evaluation, or low-rank projection and reduces the relaxation parameter when accumulated perturbations become large.
