The authors analyze how low-rank learning updates relate to mode coverage in controlled generative dynamics. They bound gradient stable rank using state and adjoint operators, then compare reverse-KL linear flows with flow matching. Reverse-KL runs show balanced-mixture collapse; flow matching delays small modes. A one-hidden-layer ReLU sweep reports a 0.72 ± 0.01 learning-time exponent, with a conflicting figure label; these findings are limited to controlled settings.
