Geometric control of parameter space and joint harmonic coupling

Establish a principled relationship between geometric control mechanisms on parameter space (e.g., preconditioning, natural-gradient-like metrics, or correlated priors) and the induced joint harmonic coupling structure encoded by the circuit harmonic matrix C.

Background

The framework models parameters on an independent torus, where character orthogonality simplifies the analysis. The authors suggest endowing parameter space with nontrivial geometry or correlated measures, which would modify averaging and interference patterns. They identify the need to relate such geometric choices to changes in joint harmonic coupling.

References

Establishing a principled relationship between such geometric control mechanisms and the resulting joint harmonic coupling structure is an open problem and may provide an additional means to shape learning dynamics beyond circuit architecture alone.
