The Coupling Within: Flow Matching via Distilled Normalizing Flows

This paper introduces Normalized Flow Matching (NFM), a novel method that distills quasi-deterministic couplings from pretrained auto-regressive normalizing flow models to train student flow models, achieving superior performance over both traditional flow matching approaches and the teacher models themselves.

Verifying Good Regulator Conditions for Hypergraph Observers: Natural Gradient Learning from Causal Invariance via Established Theorems

This paper verifies that persistent observers in causally invariant hypergraph substrates satisfy the Conant-Ashby Good Regulator Theorem, thereby necessitating internal models that lead to natural gradient descent as the unique learning rule and yielding a model-dependent closed-form formula for Vanchurin's regime parameter α\alpha with a quantum-classical threshold at κ(F)=2\kappa(F)=2.
