Preprint.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
What makes a deep network train, and what shape is its loss surface? We answer both with one construction at two scales: a polynomial activation f (z) = z + λz 3 , clamped and projected onto the unit sphere, plus an unnormalized identity path. As a deep stack it trains to one hundred layers on MNIST with no normalization machinery; as a small model its square loss is a polynomial system we solve exactly. The small scale explains the large one: it prescribes how to design, initialize and train the stack.
