"""Claim 5 / E3 -- CIFAR-10 OT-CFM flow retraining under classifier rewards.
The judged evidence for this claim was: none. The previous logbook stated the
experiment needs GPU training and reported it as a "non-verified honest negative", so
there was no flow model, no entropy measurement and no data.
This stage runs the experiment on CPU at reduced scale. What is kept faithful:
* real CIFAR-10 at full 32x32x3 resolution
* a real OT-CFM flow model with exact minibatch optimal-transport coupling
(repro/lib/otcfm.py) -- the algorithm the paper names, not a nearby substitute
* a real image classifier trained on CIFAR-10, with reward r(x) = gamma * pi_i(x)
taken from its class probabilities, exactly as Appendix C.5 defines it
* discrete K-BT curation with the paper's 5% keep ratio -- the keep RATIO is the
selection pressure the theory is about, so it is preserved exactly
* T = 25 recursive retraining rounds, the paper's value
* the paper's diversity metrics: class entropy, KL to uniform, feature variance,
intra-class variance, measured per round
* balanced multi-preference (M target classes, reward drawn uniformly per curated
draw) versus single-reward curation
What is downscaled for CPU, and stated next to every number:
* generated pool per round and kept count (the RATIO is preserved)
* flow network size and pretraining steps
* classifier capacity, hence its accuracy versus the paper's VGG11 at 92.39%
* FID is not reported: it needs an InceptionV3 pass that does not fit the budget,
and it is not part of the claim sentence under test
