# Phase 4AE — GPU author-semantics numerical gate
|
||
|
||
User authorized an independent model branch. This is not conditioning and does
|
||
not replace any Phase 1–4AD candidate/artifact. Learning remains unachieved.
|
||
The fixed author equations and all physical parameters come from the validated
|
||
4AD oracle, with dt=.1ms, delay=18 steps, refractory=22 steps and W=.275mV.
|
||
Canonical CSR, raw contact counts and frozen transmitter signs are read-only.
|
||
|
||
## Predeclared tests
|
||
|
||
Five synthetic numerical fixtures: ordered cancellation (including deliberately
|
||
nonphysiological large signed integers), 256-source fan-in bursts, refractory
|
||
release/self-loop collisions, representable threshold neighbours, and a fixed
|
||
seed signed random graph. Synthetic negative node labels are NOT MaleCNS IDs;
|
||
duplicate/zero edges occur only in labelled numerical fixtures.
|
||
|
||
Two 128-neuron real induced graphs are selected before simulation: the highest
|
||
in-degree target and its 127 largest-contact presynaptic partners; separately the
|
||
highest-in-degree target with >=64 positive and >=63 negative presynaptic inputs,
|
||
64 positive and 63 negative largest-contact partners. Ties break by canonical
|
||
neuron_idx. Include every existing edge within the selected node set, without
|
||
changing raw counts/signs or adding edges. This is numerical stress, not an input
|
||
interface or a physiological validation. Preserve identities and selection audit.
|
||
|
||
Also run the same five 4AD motifs for 100ms with one common seed request (or no
|
||
request for no_input). Report every outcome; do not select by activity/separability.
|
||
These tests do not exhaust all full-brain numerical corner cases.
|
||
|
||
## Exact arithmetic and schedule
|
||
|
||
Execute unchanged pinned author create_model in Brian2 2.5.1/NumPy1.22.3 using
|
||
the isolated 4AD environment. Export raw SI variables, actual coefficients and
|
||
weights. GPU float32 coefficients round to float32 before each multiply/add;
|
||
float64 uses double. No FMA or fast-math. Match generated expression order.
|
||
|
||
Update refractory and integrate; apply only currently permitted voltage seed
|
||
requests; strict threshold closes write access immediately; then accept delayed
|
||
anatomical arrivals in author order within each target, external synthetic input,
|
||
and reset. A fused reset is equivalent only if all arrivals reject current spikes.
|
||
Never replace sequential g+=w with g+sum(w). A queue proxy observes real Brian
|
||
arrival order without changing values; compare proxy and unwrapped runs exactly.
|
||
Use an exact spike ring buffer, no approximated delay or dense edge scan.
|
||
|
||
Before-threshold requests use the existing common requested-event convention,
|
||
not the author's distinct poi interface that changes target refractory to zero.
|
||
Report requested/accepted/rejected input separately. No graded APL in these isolated
|
||
tests; its future integration and frozen coefficients require explicit audit.
|
||
|
||
For each case/precision compare GPU to the same-precision real Brian oracle:
|
||
exact events, counts, refractory, input delivery and per-target arrival order/guard;
|
||
report full-history max/mean V/g error and bitwise state comparison. Fixed tolerance
|
||
is 1e-11V float64 / 1e-6V float32. Any event divergence fails, regardless of tolerance.
|
||
Each GPU case repeats three times with all arrays exactly equal. Cross-precision
|
||
differences are separately descriptive, not grounds to change thresholds.
|
||
|
||
## Integrity and progression
|
||
|
||
Preregister sources, old input hashes and deterministic fixture hashes before any
|
||
model execution. Preserve failures; use a separately recorded new attempt for
|
||
implementation repairs. Do not change frozen artifacts. Save manifests/SHA-256.
|
||
Old five deterministic-v2 full-brain reference regressions must pass again.
|
||
Only then consider a short full-graph author comparison, followed by DoOR CAL;
|
||
never claim full-brain equivalence or learning from isolated test PASS.
|
||
|
||
Author source/license/provenance are inherited read-only from 4AD. Supporting
|
||

|
||
and https://brian2.readthedocs.io/en/2.5.1/user/refractoriness.html . The fixed
|
||
generated source and actual boundary fixtures, not simplified prose, define timing.
