+ ## Our Real Contribution: Why the Regime Map Matters More Than 168,326×
199
+
200
+ ### The 168,326× Is a Symptom. The Regime Map Is the Diagnosis.
201
+
202
+ The headline number is striking, but it's a **toy-task outlier** — memorization is the easiest function to overfit, and the ratio mostly reflects Vanilla failing at 5K params rather than SinGLU being revolutionary.
203
+
204
+ Our real finding is a **conditional, predictive, falsifiable map**:
205
+
206
+ | Task Structure | Winner | Why | Why Others Lose |
207
+ |---------------|--------|-----|-----------------|
208
+ | **Compositional / multiplicative** | **SinGLU** | `sin(ω·W₁x) ⊙ W₂x` creates cross-terms `xᵢ·xⱼ` matching the function's multiplicative structure | Vanilla ReLU needs extra layers for products; v10's phase adds noise to an already-good fit |
209
+ | **Geometric / rotational** (spirals) | **v10** | `sin(ω·g + φ(x))` rotates decision boundaries via phase shifts | SinGLU's fixed frequency creates radial oscillations misaligned with angular spirals |
210
+ | **Multi-scale frequencies** | **v15** | Dual `ω` + `2ω` channels match signal frequency composition | SinGLU's single frequency can't represent 20Hz and 100Hz simultaneously |
211
+ | **Distribution shift** (OOD) | **Vanilla** | Piecewise linear, no hallucinated oscillations | All periodic models extrapolate waves outside domain — 24-1273× worse |
212
+ | **Unseen frequencies** | **SinGLU** | Fixed frequency basis transfers; learns coefficients, not frequency | Adaptive phase (v10) overfits training frequency; flexible = fragile |
213
+
214
+ ### Why This Is the Real Finding
215
+
216
+ 1. **It answers the original question precisely.** "Can we replace `y = Wx + b` with something richer?" → **"It depends on what information."**
217
+
218
+ 2. **It's predictive.** Given a new task, we can pick the architecture before running it — testable, falsifiable.
219
+
220
+ 3. **It explains the 168K× rather than being explained by it.** Memorization is a multiplicative task; SinGLU's cross-terms match that structure.
221
+
222
+ 4. **It has practical value.** Medical diagnosis (OOD) → use ReLU. Audio reconstruction (multi-scale) → try v15. NLP embeddings (compositional) → try SinGLU.
223
+
224
+ ### The Limitation We Also Found
225
+
226
+ All adaptive mechanisms (v6-v13) failed at small scale due to **gradient competition**. No architecture learned to *switch* between regimes dynamically. The routing gates (v6) couldn't do it at 3K-8K params. Maybe at 100K+ they can — that's an open question.
227
+
228
+ > **In one sentence:** Neuron design is not one-size-fits-all — it's a conditional choice based on task structure, and we mapped those conditions empirically.
