   stochastic update vanishes sample-by-sample at Q=W; the extra feedback
   prediction convolution is included in MAC accounting. It is also an
   inherited learned-alignment control;
+- modified Kolen--Pollack (`kp`) is the reciprocal local-plasticity baseline of
+  Akrout et al. Forward and feedback synapses independently recompute the same
+  correlation from their own local activity pair and use matched optimizer and
+  decay dynamics. The feedback update never reads W or its update. A separate
+  reciprocal correlation is charged in the MAC audit; `KP_BASELINE.md` freezes
+  its staged ResNet gate before any KP task endpoint;
 - direct node perturbation uses a causal target on every hidden update and no
   learned vectorizer;
 - the no-traffic, `P=0` SDIL backbone is learned direct feedback by node
