"""
EXP M (reviewer_response): CONTINUOUS COMPOSITIONAL BASELINE.
The #1 reviewer objection: "you only tested DISCRETE bottleneck codes.
Continuous factorized representations might transfer fine."
This experiment trains a CONTINUOUS bottleneck (same encoder + multi-agent
structure, but tanh-bounded real-valued codes instead of Gumbel one-hot)
on V-JEPA 2 collision restitution. We measure within-scenario TopSim,
PosDis, and causal specificity, then run the same N-shot cross-scenario
curve as Exp I.
Two variants tried:
- code_dim=10 per agent (matches discrete dimensionally: 4 agents x 10
= 40-dim message, same as discrete K=5 vocab x 2 heads x 4 agents)
- code_dim=3 per agent (small bottleneck, matches Option B from prompt)
If continuous bottleneck plateaus at 45-50% (like discrete), the
"compositionality without invariance" claim survives discretization.
If it recovers like a linear probe (60-84%), the claim must narrow to
discrete codes specifically.
