""" ) return @app.cell def _(mo): mo.md(r""" ## Why spectra enter the story In linear regression, SGD learns high-eigenvalue directions first. The paper treats the learned spectral range as an optimization horizon. A strong teacher can expose directions that a weaker student would not reach from the original labels; conversely, a student can stop before it copies a weak teacher's noisy tail. The real-model result is consistent with that second mechanism: performance gap recovered peaks at epoch 2, when 80% of head energy occupies 29 directions. By epoch 20 the same threshold requires 295 directions and test MSE is worse. ## Two exact stress tests **Theorem 4 — FALSIFIED as written.** An admissible `D=4096` rank-one-covariance construction has student risk strictly above teacher risk for every finite horizon, contradicting the theorem's eventual universal strict inequality. **Theorem 5 — FALSIFIED as written.** Its proof uses a PGR identity that requires an unstated zero-risk condition. Its stopping exponent also maps to half the advertised cutoff exponent when `alpha_S=2`. These results do not say spectral denoising is absent—the UTKFace experiment shows a large instance of it. They say the quantified theorems need additional conditions or corrected rates.
