Ŋhōshiyalūn-72 / Sōryūmā: Conserved Task Geometry, Query-Optimal Low-Rank Extraction, and Minimal Affine Memory for Opaque Quadratic Learners

This research release presents a mathematical and executable framework for extracting reusable learning decisions from an opaque quadratic learner, even when measuring that learner changes its internal state. Its central object is a conserved task-conditioned optimizer map: the complete family of minimum-original-objective-cost parameter edits satisfying a fixed set of linear constraints. The release combines an active extraction protocol, qualified query-optimality results, a minimal smooth-memory theorem, exact-rational experiments, perturbation certificates, and a separate demonstration of future learning without further access to the original source. The source maintains a symmetric positive-definite information matrix \(H\), a linear term \(b\), and a parameter mean \(θ=H⁻¹b\). It accepts destructive observations according to \[ Hₜ₊₁=λ_tH_t+w_tu_tu_t^, bₜ₊₁=λ_tb_t+w_tu_ty_t. \] The positive forgetting factors and observation weights may vary arbitrarily and remain hidden. The extractor receives no Hessian, covariance, historical dataset, source snapshot, or reset capability. It selects admissible covariates and diagnostic labels, then observes the resulting full parameter means. For a known rank-\(m\) constraint matrix \(A\) in dimension \(n\), the objective is to recover the map returning, for every target \(d\), the unique minimizer of the source’s original quadratic objective subject to \(Ax=d\). The retained geometry represents the source’s accumulated objective, including its existing weighting or prior. The principal results are: Extraction through destructive mean responses. For \(0<m<n\), \(m\) row-direction probes produce observed gain columns \(V\) spanning \(Hᵢₙᵢₜᵢₐₗ⁻¹range(A^)\). The reusable editor is \[ K=V(AV)⁻¹, F(d)=θfinal+ K(d-Aθfinal). \] It returns the exact constrained optimum in the original quadratic geometry without recovering the full Hessian or estimating the hidden scalar schedules. Conservation of the complete affine task map. Positive forgetting and observations within the task row space preserve the constrained optimizer on every fiber \(Ax=d\). Diagnostic observations remain in the physical source, but their effects cancel in the retained task behavior. The final mean is sufficient; retaining the initial mean is unnecessary. After compilation, additional targets for the same \(A\) require no source calls or future source-update factors. Qualified query optimality. The deterministic lower bound for preparing a reusable projector before its later targets are supplied is \(min(m,n-m)\). Consequently, the \(m\)-probe construction is optimal when \(m≤ n/2\). For higher ranks, a gap remains between the lower and upper bounds. Optimality for a single fixed target supplied before probing is not established. Consistent rank-zero and full-rank tasks require zero probes; redundant constraints can be reduced, and inconsistent targets are rejected. Minimal standalone task memory. The complete affine edit map has sharp smooth source-specific memory dimension \[ D=(n-m)(m+1). \] The release constructs an attaining decoder and proves a differentiable encoder/decoder lower bound. Known task metadata and decoder code are excluded. This is an exact real-coordinate result, rather than a finite-bit compression or total acquisition-memory guarantee. The main exact benchmark contains 108 source/task acquisitions in dimensions 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8, with three targets per acquisition. Exact rational arithmetic verifies 324 of 324 original-objective constrained optima, 324 of 324 compressed-decoder outputs, and 318 destructive source calls, exactly constraint rank per acquisition. All 108 affine-offset conservation and learned-coordinate count checks pass. Additional target reuse requires zero source calls. Thirty-two exact invariance audit pairs cover changes of row basis, probe order, diagnostic labels, hidden schedules, and physical scale. Euclidean projection is feasible on all 324 targets but has strictly higher original-objective cost on 312. Across 319 positive-cost optima, its objective ratio relative to the recovered optimum has median 1.4381 and maximum 6.9896. Five zero-optimum cases are excluded from ratio summaries. A separately implemented source and algebraic checker verify 36 projectors, 180 constrained optima, 36 projector perturbation bounds, and 180 parameter-error bounds. These checks were produced within the same research session and do not constitute external independent replication. The perturbation guarantees use declared known basis-error radii. Without bounds on the hidden objective geometry, small parameter error alone does not imply small objective excess. A separate supporting study recovers the original full quadratic geometry up to positive scale and initializes a different, explicitly supplied online policy. A ten-expert pool combines recovered and isotropic normalized-LMS geometries with five fixed step sizes; exponential aggregation updates their weights from observed losses. This study includes 216 exact geometry recoveries, followed by 648 streams of 128 observations, comprising 82,944 future prediction events. During these streams, the primary learner receives no source calls or future source factors. With labels and scored predictions bounded in \([-1,1]\), all streams pass the numerical cumulative and all-prefix expert-regret checks. Maximum prefix regret is 4.5708, below the stated allowance \(8ln(10)=18.4207\). The primary pool’s total squared loss is 6,152.9704, compared with 6,987.0745 for isotropic-only aggregation: an 11.94% aggregate reduction on this selected task mixture. It nevertheless loses on 260 streams, wins on 172, and ties on 216. These results do not establish universal dominance or a compute-matched speedup. Geometry recovery uses exact rational arithmetic; subsequent learning uses float64. The accompanying dataset provides 1,332 related synthetic records across five configurations: task_edits: 324 target-edit records; acquisitions: 108 source/task preparation summaries; independent_checks: 36 separate projector and perturbation audits; autonomous_runs: 648 future-learning stream summaries; geometry_recoveries: 216 exact full-geometry recovery records. The future-learning rows are run-level summaries, rather than per-observation training examples. Detailed matrices and probe traces are included for 18 representative acquisitions; remaining cases are reproducible from the supplied code and seeds. The release includes the final manuscript, proof notes, source code, raw results, boundary counterexamples, structured JSONL exports, data dictionaries, reproduction commands, integrity hashes. Its verification suite includes 15 task-map tests and four future-learner tests. Exact task studies use Python’s standard library; the separate numerical future-learning study uses NumPy. Weighted quadratic projection, Gaussian conditioning, normalized-LMS updates, and exponential expert aggregation are established methods. The proposed contribution is the active extraction and task-specific compilation interface under destructive mean-only access with unknown varying positive scalar transitions, together with its qualified query and smooth-memory characterization. The retained map supports hard targets on a fixed task row space. It generally cannot select optimal targets under arbitrary soft penalties, transfer unchanged to a different task space, reconstruct the complete learner, or predict an unrestricted hidden future update law. Its relevance to self-improving systems lies in making a specified family of learning decisions portable, compact, and checkable across implementations. General-intelligence RSI, unrestricted optimizer invention, sustained recursive acceleration, external replication, and literature priority remain unestablished.
