CIFAR-100, d=256 L=4, 100ep, 3 seeds. Frozen baseline (BP-frozen) = 0.178.
acc (±ddof=1) cos (±ddof=1) h_L g_L <frozen?
BP 0.321 ± 0.002 +1.000 ~192 ~9.5e-4 no
FA 0.133 ± 0.013 +0.234 ± 0.015 ~1e5-7e5 ~1e-6 YES (all 3)
DFA 0.088 ± 0.001 +0.029 ± 0.001 ~2e8 ~9e-9 YES (all 3)
Frozen 0.178 — — — baseline
Both FA and DFA are below frozen at ALL 3 seeds with positive cosine.
FA cos is +0.23 (clearly positive). DFA cos is +0.03 (small but positive).
Both are well above chance (1% for 100 classes).
BP is ~0.32, well above frozen (trustworthy control).
This is the paper's strongest qualifying setting because it uses the
SAME architecture (d=256 L=4) as the main CIFAR-10 audit — only the
task difficulty changes.
