ScalarLens encodes numerical features by separating a scalar-determined coordinate from a context-dependent response. A monotone learned mesh preserves the coordinate, while bounded message passing adapts numerical embeddings; categorical embeddings and the CTR backbone are unchanged. Across three datasets and nine backbones, it ranks first in 25 of 27 settings, without establishing temporal, causal, or new-family generalization.
