# Notes

This folder collects working notes for the project tentatively titled:

**Distributional Capacity Bounds for Feedback Alignment in Multilayer Perceptrons**

Use this directory as the project memory. Keep rough ideas here before promoting them into a paper draft or experiments.

## Files

- [00_project_overview.md](00_project_overview.md): high-level thesis, contribution map, and scope.
- [01_theory_notes.md](01_theory_notes.md): notation, theorem candidates, proof sketches, and open theoretical gaps.
- [02_experiment_notes.md](02_experiment_notes.md): validation plan, metrics, datasets, and plotting ideas.
- [03_paper_outline.md](03_paper_outline.md): draft paper structure and section-level writing plan.

## Note Conventions

- Prefer formulas and precise claims over prose-only ideas.
- Mark unproven statements as `Conjecture` or `Hypothesis`.
- Mark results ready for paper text as `Candidate theorem`, `Candidate proposition`, or `Candidate corollary`.
- Keep experiment ideas close to the metric they test.
- When a note depends on an assumption, write the assumption explicitly.
