the application map.

WDM CONTROL6–7

cycles to lock

256 to 4,096 simulated wavelength channels, with 0.041–0.058 dB tail error.

PULSE SHAPING0.998

Strehl ratio

Locked in six cycles at 128, 640, and 4,096 simulated control pixels.

PHOTONIC MESH0.9966

unitary fidelity

Measured at 4,096 simulated phase controls; 0.9992 at 256 controls.

RIS / BEAMFORMING0.998

normalized result

Per-cell sensing reached the 0.95 operating threshold in six cycles.

RESPONSE MATCHING100,000

globally coupled variables

Twenty of twenty fixed and changing-response trials cleared the verified RMS threshold in six acquisitions.

VERIFIED RMS0.0648

median final error

Controlled response-matching simulation under a fixed six-acquisition budget.

MATCHED ONE-READ GRID64–16,384

channels tested

Finite differences, SPSA, and CMA-ES matched no control under the same one-read budget. Simulated.

COMMISSIONING6

measurements to usable

Zero setup reads at n = 1,024, with every comparison setup and diagnostic read charged to the same budget. Controlled simulation.

SCALE LADDER10⁸

channels held flat

From 10⁵ to 10⁸ in the pre-registered controlled-simulation ladder.

DEADLINE FRONTIER65,536

channels by D = 6

No alternative cleared the deadline. Live-confirmed through 4,096 channels.

ANALOG COMPUTE STACK8.4M

resident weights held

Depth eight. 78.6% top-1 agreement versus 65.7% free-running and 70.1% scheduled recalibration. Controlled simulation.

STRUCTURED DRIFT16,384

monitored columns

75.4% agreement versus 61.3% free-running and 66.9% scheduled recalibration. Controlled simulation.

Misses beside passes

Predictions that did not survive testing.

More cycles did not always win. Delayed acquisition diverged. Light commissioning was insufficient.
