# GeoLIP Spherical Diffusion Prototype
**Flow matching diffusion through constellation bottleneck on S^15.**
Four progressive experiments proving that geometric triangulation
on the unit hypersphere is a viable information bottleneck for
diffusion models β and that the binding constant 0.29154 emerges
from velocity matching through geometric lookup.
## Experiments
### v1 β Regulator (baseline)
Constellation as a side-channel regulator on feature maps.
Gate stayed at 6%. Constellation was decorative.
- Loss: 0.1900 | Params: 6.1M | Near 0.29: 0%
### v2 β Skip Bypass (the sneaky test)
268M parameter `Linear(16384, 16384)` skip projection alongside
the constellation bottleneck. The model was given every reason
to bypass the constellation. **It chose the constellation** β gate
at 11.8%, routing 88% through 768 triangulation dimensions.
- Loss: 0.1757 | Params: 287M | Near 0.29: 9%
### v3 β Pure Constellation Bottleneck
Skip projection removed. Everything through S^15. Zero bypass.
Beat the 268M skip version with 8Γ fewer bottleneck params.
Reconstruction cos_sim β 0 β the bottleneck is a geometric
lookup table, not an autoencoder.
- Loss: 0.1749 | Params: 36.6M | Near 0.29: 30%
### v4 β Geometric Lookup Flow Matching (GLFM)
Three-stage pipeline: Address β Condition β Generate.
Multi-scale addressing (coarse + fine). 46% of anchors
converged within Β±0.05 of the binding constant 0.29154.
- Loss: 0.1754 | Params: 35.2M | Near 0.29: 46%
## The 0.29154 Binding Constant
Anchor drift from home position converges toward 0.29154 radians
across all experiments. This constant has now appeared in:
| Domain | Architecture | Training |
|---|---|---|
| MinimalShunts | Binding/separation phase boundary | Contrastive |
| CLIP projections | Geometric transition | Contrastive |
| T5 generation | Alpha convergence | Language modeling |
| CaptionBERT | Phase boundary | Contrastive |
| **Flow matching** | **Max anchor drift** | **Velocity matching** |
The constant marks the boundary where anchors transition from
geometric frame holders to task-specific encoders.
## Key Empirical Results
| Finding | Result |
|---|---|
| CV β 0.20 is geometry of S^15 | Precision-invariant, 1-bit to fp64 |
| Constellation relay preserves 99.4% cos_to_orig at depth 16 | vs 7.4% for attention |
| Model prefers constellation over 268M skip bypass | 88/12 split |
| 768 tri dims match 16384 unconstrained dims for velocity | cos 0.949 |
| Bottleneck doesn't reconstruct β it's a lookup table | cos_sim β 0 to input |
| Anchors self-organize: structural (<0.29) vs semantic (>0.29) | Confirmed across 4 versions |
