8 hoursVisual Genome is capped: part correspondence buys 0.023YurenHao0426
Each VG region box is index-aligned with its own description, so the crop can be encoded and paired with the phrase describing it -- part correspondence by annotation, which is cross-modal supervision a deployed system would not have. The cross-modal anchor bound goes 0.336 -> 0.359. So the two encoders do not covary at the part level either, and no segmentation, aggregation, kernel or backbone repairs that. The 0.805 within-text ceiling was never the cross-modal ceiling; for this encoder pair on this corpus the cross-modal ceiling is about 0.36 against the 0.9 recovery needs. Six representational interventions this session were chosen without a ceiling in view -- the same error being made on the matching side at the same time. What replaces them is a three-number screening protocol that runs before any pipeline is built. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

NATURAL_RESULTS keeps its verdict paragraph but flags that the statistic behind it does not govern recovery, and that the search has since been run. SYNTH_RESULTS gets a note on the parenthesis that turned out to be the whole story: structured fields are low-rank, the threshold formula assumes full-rank noise, and the caveat sat unfollowed for months.

Four random resized crops per Visual Genome image, segmented independently with their fields averaged, leave the correlation at 0.6559. Closed-world re-renders resample layout, which is nuisance by construction, so averaging removes modality-private variation; random crops perturb framing that self-supervised patch features already absorb, leaving nothing to cancel.

18 hoursWorld Alignment: unpaired cross-modal correspondence by relational ↵Yuren Hao
identifiability Method: scene states are sets of part states; relation fields are built within each modality and are invariant to how each side labels its own features; the cross-modal bridge is a coupling searched under an energy that is a closed-form functional of one matrix; solving is spectral initialisation followed by exact local refinement. Evidence: in a procedurally generated closed world, blind recovery of a hidden image-caption correspondence reaches 95.3% at 256 scenes against 0.39% chance, and the recovered pairs transfer to 200 held-out scenes at 93.0% exact retrieval with random-pair and shuffled-image controls at or near chance. Cross-modal value correspondence is derived from disjoint corpora rather than declared. On Visual Genome the field correlation reaches 0.656 against the 0.9 that polynomial recovery needs, with the deficit attributed away from segmentation and discretisation. Protocol: no image-text pair enters any objective, optimiser, initialisation, or model selection; hidden pairs score orderings only. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
