This is the bottleneck for the depth-generality publication angle. - **wd_width_transition REDUCED** from weight 25→12 — already definitively confirmed at 142 seeds. - **🆕 New host discovered**: sirius (h347, WTBroughton, i7-11370H 8-core, 15.7GB RAM) — created today, already actively computing! Dispatch Status: 1,110 dispatched to hosts immediately: achernar (h159): 666 grabbed, Dell-XPS (h319): 252, sirius (h347): 121 — NEW HOST!, Dads-PC (h123): 74 481 unsent waiting for remaining hosts to poll No New Experiments Designed This Session ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All deployment focused on existing experiments with priority rebalancing. wd_timing_depth (#61) was designed last session (s0303u) and is now receiving maximum priority after returning 8 seeds confirming depth generality. Novelty check: N/A — no new experiment scripts created this session. KEY SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS — CUMULATIVE STATUS ============================================= Publication-Ready: 1. Finding #44 (Inverse CP for WD): 34+ seeds, 100% consistent at w32. Late WD effective (84-89% of always-WD). Early WD HURTS (-10%). NO LONGER SCOPED AS NARROW-NETWORK — see #59 paradigm shift. 2. Finding #45 (Reg Timing Universality): 140 seeds, COMPLETE. Inverse CP confirmed for WD (100%) and DROPOUT (98.6%). NOT for L1 (0.7%) or noise injection (2.9%). 3. Finding #59 (Width Transition): 142 seeds, 100% — DEFINITIVELY CONFIRMED. Inverse CP holds at ALL widths 24-64 with WD=0.05. REFUTES prior width-specific conclusion from #54. 4. Finding #60 (Task Generality): 86 seeds — STRONGLY CONFIRMED. Inverse CP across 4 tasks: compositional (100%), spiral (100%), teacher-student (96.5%), hidden manifold (87.2%). 5. Finding #61 (Depth Generality): 8 seeds — GROWING. d2: 100%, d3: 100%, d4: 62.5%, d5: 75%, d6: 87.5%. Inverse CP generalizes to depths 2-6. More seeds needed. 6. Finding #51 (SVD Rank Intervention): 293+ seeds, DIVERSE. Late SVD truncation consistently reduces gen gap. STRONG CAUSAL EVIDENCE. 7. Finding #52 (Percolation): 199+ seeds, ER p_c robustly 0.337-0.343. Cross-disciplinary statistical physics result. Growing / Active: - Finding #49 (WD x LR): 183+ seeds. P3 (interaction) at 83%+. - Finding #50 (WD Window): 106+ seeds. P4 (diminishing returns) supported. - Finding #53 (MP Universality GPU): 36+ seeds. H1 NOT supported. - Finding #56 (WD x Optimizer): 58+ seeds. Consistent with #54. - Finding #47 (Rep Crystallization): 79+ results. Timing confirmed. - Finding #46 (WD Rebound): Preliminary negative. Complete/Retired: - Finding #55 (Grad Subspace): 7 seeds, COMPLETE NEGATIVE. - Finding #57 (Width Mechanism): 83 seeds, INCONCLUSIVE — RETIRED. - Finding #58 (Critical Width): 50 seeds, NEGATIVE — RETIRED. KNOWN ISSUES ============= - gigas (h322) SSL cert failure — 24 GPU error results (low priority) - Andre-WEBK (h345): Mixed success rate, host-specific (outcome=3/exit=202) - Orphaned WUs (4,862) from --target_host bug (low priority cleanup) - GPU CUDA arch mismatch on some hosts (Blackwell sm_120+) - Dead hosts: Foxtrot-2/3, Delta-2, DESKTOP-EMAFVVL (cleaned up) NEXT SESSION PRIORITIES ======================== 1. Analyze incoming wd_timing_depth (#61) results — depth generality is the publication bottleneck 2. Continue wd_width_transition (#59) — 142 seeds, paradigm shift definitively confirmed 3. Continue wd_timing_task_sweep (#60) — 86 seeds, strongly confirmed 4. Continue SVD rank intervention (#51) — causal mechanism for publication dataset 5. Monitor GPU experiments (#54 robustness, #53 continuing) 6.
