The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments demonstrate that our approach accelerates optimization by 2.5× while simultaneously improving PSNR by up to 1.4 dB over the previous state of the art.

C2weakest assumption

The mathematical imbalance between area and boundary gradients is the primary cause of topology collapse, and the proposed Interior Gradient Aggregation plus scheduling will stabilize learning without introducing new instabilities or requiring extensive hyperparameter tuning.

C3one line summary

Vector Scaffolding uses Interior Gradient Aggregation, Progressive Stratification, and Rapid Inflation Scheduling to achieve 2.5x faster optimization and up to 1.4 dB higher PSNR in differentiable vectorization.
