Statistical Properties of the King Wen Sequence: An Anti-Habituation Structure That Does Not Improve Neural Network Training
The King Wen sequence has genuine statistical properties (confirmed by Monte Carlo analysis against 100,000 random baselines) but they do not improve neural network training. This is a negative result paper reporting experiments across two platforms (NVIDIA RTX 2060 with PyTorch, Apple Silicon with MLX).
