Uniform growing-state and learned-model extensions
Establish rates uniform over growing state counts K=K(q) and extend the vanishing-predictive-KL phenomenon to learned sequence models.

It remains open which observability or minimality conditions restore finite-core certificates when unused latent states are available.

It does not show that this failure of gap transfer is prevalent in learned models or provide a converse criterion; uniform growing-$K$ rates and extensions to learned sequence models remain open.
