vST for Generative Models#
Example: Regime Transitions Along a Diffusion Trajectory#
This example demonstrates how a diffusion model’s sampling trajectory moves through the triadic latent‑regime structure:
- R₃ᴴ — noise‑dominated
- R₂ᴴ — transitional denoising
- R₁ᴴ — stable refinement
It illustrates how coherence surfaces evolve, how variance contracts, and how the vST substrate classifies each phase using the 1024D dimensional ladder.
1. Scenario Overview#
We assume:
- a 1024D latent diffusion model
- 50‑step sampler (e.g., DDIM or Euler)
- a single trajectory sampled from noise → final latent
- checkpoints C₁ and C₂ for cross‑version comparison
The example is architecture‑agnostic.
2. Step 1 — Extract Latent States Across the Trajectory#
Let:
[ z_t \in \mathbb{R}^{1024}, \quad t = 0, 1, \dots, 50 ]
represent the latent state at sampling step ( t ).
Observed Properties#
- ( z_0 ) is high‑variance, noise‑dominated
- mid‑trajectory states show branching and reorientation
- late states converge into compact, coherent motifs
3. Step 2 — Project Latents into 9D#
Project each ( z_t ) into the 9D coherence core.
Reveals#
- R₃ᴴ (steps 0–10): diffuse, unstable geometry
- R₂ᴴ (steps 11–32): branching surfaces, oscillatory transitions
- R₁ᴴ (steps 33–50): compact, stable motifs
Interpretation#
The 9D projection exposes the “coherence spine” of the diffusion trajectory.
4. Step 3 — Identify Regime Transitions#
Using variance distribution, coherence‑surface continuity, and primitive‑level stability:
| Step Range | Regime | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| 0–10 | R₃ᴴ | noise‑dominated, high variance |
| 11–32 | R₂ᴴ | reorientation, branching, sampler‑dependent |
| 33–50 | R₁ᴴ | refinement, stable motifs |
Interpretation#
The trajectory follows the canonical triadic sequence:
[ R₃ᴴ \rightarrow R₂ᴴ \rightarrow R₁ᴴ ]
5. Step 4 — Project 9D → 6D → 3D#
6D Interaction Projection#
Shows:
- cross‑step coupling
- sampler‑driven reorientation
- early instability signatures
3D Structural Projection#
Shows:
- compact motifs in R₁ᴴ
- oscillatory geometry in R₂ᴴ
- diffuse patterns in R₃ᴴ
6. Step 5 — Validate with vST Layers#
- V₁: structural coherence preserved
- V₂: dimensional continuity intact
- V₃: regime transitions substrate‑aligned
- V₄: core alignment stable across checkpoints
7. Summary#
This example demonstrates:
- the triadic regime structure of diffusion trajectories
- how coherence surfaces evolve across sampling steps
- how projection reveals latent‑space geometry
- how vST layers validate structural integrity
