# GPLM.py
# ============================================================
# GPLM (drop-in replacement):
#   Sparse-kernel KRR / mean-GP decoder on latent coordinates.
#
# This version:
#   - Builds a sparse kernel matrix K using kNN (ANN) on training latents.
#   - Solves (K + sigma2 * I) S = Y  for S (N,D) via iterative sparse solvers.
#   - Predicts for new points using only k_pred nearest training points:
#       y(x) ≈ sum_{j in kNN(x)} k(x, x_j) * S_j
#
# Key properties:
#   - No Nyström anchors / no inducing points.
#   - "Nonlinearity" corresponds to strong locality (small eps, small k_graph):
#       sparse + high-rank-ish operator, but scalable because it's sparse.
#
# API compatibility:
#   - class GPLM
#   - __init__(...), fit(...)
#   - __call__(R_ax), predict(..., return_var=True)
#   - kernel_mass(...)
#   - flow(...) present but NotImplemented (optional advanced geometry)
#
# Dependencies:
#   numpy, scipy
#   ann.py + utils.py (same repo assumptions as your previous GPLM)
