Dynamical independence reveals anaesthetic specific fragmentation of emergent structure in neural dynamics

🚨New spotlight paper at Neurips 2025🚨
We show that in sign-diverse networks, inherent non-gradient “curl” terms arise, and can, depending on network architecture, destabilize gradient-descent solutions or paradoxically accelerate learning beyond pure gradient flow.
