23 hoursLandscape reshaping does not substitute for field correlationYuren Hao
A rank-truncation ladder from four to full rank returns chance accuracy at the natural-data correlation of 0.656, as does full-rank spectral initialisation with refinement. Coarse-to-sharp smoothing widens basins and thins decoys, and recovers nothing, so below the polynomial threshold the deficit is information the algorithm class cannot use rather than a basin it cannot find. Solver-side candidates should wait on the correlation instead of competing with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
23 hoursCandidate register: five factors, ordered by expected movementYuren Hao
The natural-data obstruction decomposes into field correlation, landscape shape, search strength, problem size, and orthogonal signal, and every candidate attacks exactly one. Records what is measured, what is running, and what is specified but unstarted, so branches can be eliminated in cost order rather than by preference. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
