Authors: Research Stack Team CompressionLossComparison.lean — Unified Field Formulation of Learning Objectives THESIS STATEMENT: "We define a unified field Φ(x) that incorporates accuracy, dynamics, geometry, entropy, and conservation constraints. Standard training and self-compression arise as special cases of this formulation. This demonstrates that learning objectives can be extended from scalar losses to structured fields over state manifolds." Three paradigms compared: 1. Standard Training — empirical risk minimization (degenerate case) 2. Self-Compressing Loss — arXiv:2301.13142 (introduces κ² > 0) 3. Field-Based Loss — OTOM Compression domain (full 5-term structure) KEY CLAIM (corrected): NOT "Field-based dominates" (unproven, overclaiming) BUT "Field-based strictly generalizes" (provable, defensible) Per AGENTS.md §1.4: Uses Q16_16 fixed-point for hardware-native computation. Per AGENTS.md §2: PascalCase types, camelCase functions. Per AGENTS.md §4: All defs must have eval witnesses or theorems.
