The normalized inverse-scale direction of LayerNorm's affine parameters is an exact algebraic kernel of the post-final-norm centred activation covariance for any input distribution in LayerNorm transformers.
Dead directions recover Watanabe's RLCT contribution and triple (λ, m, ν) from directional Fisher curvature decay rates in original parameter space for singular models, extended via K-FAC to networks and gauge-equivariant optimizers.
Volume asymptotics of sublevel sets determine and recover the visible intrinsic divisorial spectrum of singularities via finite reconstruction.
