Section 6.5, paragraph 1Global invariant hard from one frame; transition quantity local from two frames

Informal interpretation Motivation, interpretation or scope; not a formal claim.

1 Paper text

The core representational point is that the global invariant nim⁡(P)\operatorname{nim}(P) is hard to compute from a single frame, whereas the transition quantity Δ(P,P′)\Delta(P,P') is locally computable from two frames (Lemma 5.4). Section 7.2 isolates this effect by training one-frame and two-frame models on the same restoration targets.

2 Explain this

The representational point in one sentence: the global invariant nim⁡(P)\operatorname{nim}(P) is hard to compute from one frame, while the transition quantity Δ(P,P′)\Delta(P,P') is local from two. The supervised experiment isolates exactly this contrast by training one-frame and two-frame models on the same targets.

3 How this is formalised

A summary of Theorem 5.2 (barrier) and Lemma 5.4; the experiment is Section 7.2.5, “One-frame does not learn restoration; two-frame eventually does”.

No Lean statement corresponds to this claim. This is interpretation or motivation, not a formal mathematical claim.
