展示HN：引力并不追踪质量，而是追踪波形复杂性
一种带宽受限的神经网络（我将其命名为Erebus）在公共LIGO引力波数据上进行训练，发现持续性——时间积累在多大程度上有助于预测结构——与波形的谱熵相关（r = +0.69，p = 2×10⁻⁵），而与质量无关（ρ = −0.05，p = 0.80）。两个质量相同的黑洞合并事件在持续性上相差100倍。这一差异完全可以通过信号的谱复杂性来解释，而不是源的质量。这个模式在四种不同架构的观察者（GRU、LSTM、Transformer、ViT-Small）中得到了重复。
一篇伴随论文建立了框架：固定一个观察流程，并在来自独立仪器的13个真实数据领域中测量持续性（LIGO、EHT、CMB、太阳黑子、类星体、超新星、中微子）。一个单一的时间轴组织所有领域，电磁学位于一端，重力位于另一端。通过相同流程的周期信号在180多次运行中产生零正持续性——当观察边界未能划分周期时，积累会破坏波形。

A bandwidth-limited neural network (that I've named Erebus) trained on public LIGO gravitational wave data finds that persistence — how much temporal accumulation helps predict structure — correlates with spectral entropy of the waveform (r = +0.69, p = 2×10⁻⁵) and not with mass (ρ = −0.05, p = 0.80). Two black hole mergers at identical mass differ by 100× in persistence. The difference is entirely explained by the spectral complexity of the signal, not the mass of the source. The pattern reproduces across four architecturally distinct observers (GRU, LSTM, Transformer, ViT-Small).<p>A companion paper establishes the framework: fix an observation pipeline and measure persistence across 13 real-data domains from independent instruments (LIGO, EHT, CMB, sunspots, quasars, supernovae, neutrinos). A single temporal axis organizes all domains, with electromagnetism at one pole and gravity at the other. A periodic signal through the same pipeline produces zero positive persistence across 180+ runs — accumulation destroys the wave when observation boundaries don't divide the period.<p>First Paper: <a href="https://zenodo.org/records/19323952" rel="nofollow">https://zenodo.org/records/19323952</a>
