### Common experimental setup

Target family `V(x) = (1/2) sum_i a_i x_i^2` with `a_i in [alpha, beta]`, so
`grad^2 V = H = diag(a)`, `tr(H) = sum_i a_i`, `kappa = beta/alpha`, and
`pi(x,p) = prod_i N(0, diag(1/a_i, 1))`. Friction is the one the theorems mandate,
`gamma = sqrt(32 beta)`; the step size is restricted to the admissible range `h <= 1/gamma`.
Initialisation `mu_0 = N(0, beta^{-1} I) x N(0, I)`.

Because `V` is quadratic and diagonal, ULMC (Eq. 3.2), the doubly-randomized midpoint
scheme (Eq. 3.4), LMC and composite LMC are **linear-Gaussian recursions that factorise
over coordinates**. We propagate the exact mean and second moment and evaluate
`KL(mu_N || pi)` in closed form -- there is no Monte-Carlo error anywhere. `N` steps cost
`O(log N)` by repeated squaring of the augmented affine map, so `N` up to `4e9` is reachable
exactly. `N_eps` below always means *the minimum over admissible h of the number of steps
to reach `KL <= eps^2`*, read off a geometric grid with 3 % resolution.

For RMD the per-step midpoints are random, so `mu_N` is a Gaussian *mixture*; we report the
moment-matched Gaussian KL, which by the maximum-entropy property is a certified lower bound
on the true KL, and the exact moments are validated against a 200,000-particle simulation
(z-scores 0.9 / 1.3, `outputs/test_sanity.json`).

d1r = sc["rmd"]["d_fixed_trH"]
dfb = bl["dimension_free_bias_bound"]
c1 = f"""**Claim (verbatim).** {CLAIMS[0]}

**Verdict: `verified`.**

### Key number
Holding `alpha=0.01`, `beta=1`, `tr(H)=10`, `eps={d1u['eps']}` **all fixed** and varying only the
ambient dimension over an 82x range (`d = 11 ... 900`), `N_eps` **falls** by a factor
{1 / d1u['growth_factor_over_82x_d']:.2f} for ULMC and {1 / d1r['growth_factor_over_82x_d']:.2f} for RMD.
Any bound with an explicit `d^{{1/2}}` would have predicted {d1u['sqrt_d_prediction']:.1f}x *growth*.
Fitted log-log exponents in `d`: **{d1u['fit_exponent']:+.3f}** (ULMC), **{d1r['fit_exponent']:+.3f}** (RMD);
theorem predicts 0.

### Independent method (not a quotation of the proof)
1. **Exact stationary bias law.** We solved the discrete Lyapunov fixed point of the ULMC
   moment map and fitted the resulting `KL(mu_inf^h || pi)` per coordinate. Fitted exponents:
   **{bl['ulmc']['a_exponent_beta1.0_h0.01000']['exponent']:.4f} in `a`** (R^2 {bl['ulmc']['a_exponent_beta1.0_h0.01000']['r2']:.9f}) and
   **{bl['ulmc']['h_exponent_beta1.0']['exponent']:.4f} in `h`**, with the constant measured as
   {bl['ulmc']['constant_C_in_F=C*a^2*h^2/beta'][0]:.7f} against `1/256 = {bl['ulmc']['one_over_256']:.7f}`, and the fitted `beta`
   exponent at fixed `gamma h` and `a/beta` being {bl['ulmc']['beta_exponent_at_fixed_gamma_h_and_a_over_beta']['exponent']:.2e} (i.e. zero). So

   > `KL(mu_inf^h || pi) = h^2 (sum_i a_i^2) / (256 beta)  <=  h^2 tr(H) / 256`

   using only `a_i <= beta`. **The ambient dimension does not appear.** This is an
   independent, closed-form derivation of exactly the mechanism Lemma 4.1 asserts
   (`sqrt(tr H)` replacing `sqrt(d)`), obtained without reading the proof.
2. **Randomised audit of the trace bound.** {dfb['n_random_spectra']} random spectra (seed {dfb['seed']}),
   `d` up to 400, `beta` in `[0.37, 4.5]`, `h` over three decades. The exact bias never exceeded
   `h^2 tr(H)/256`: max ratio **{dfb['max_ratio_bias_over_h2trH_div256']:.4f}**, min {dfb['min_ratio']:.4f}. The bound is
   *attained* when `a_i = beta` for all i, which is precisely when `tr(H) = beta d`.
3. **Positive control.** Rerun with `H = beta I` so `tr(H) = beta d` genuinely grows with `d`:
   the same code now fits **{sc['ulmc']['d_control_H_eq_betaI']['fit_exponent']:+.3f}** (ULMC) and
   **{sc['rmd']['d_control_H_eq_betaI']['fit_exponent']:+.3f}** (RMD), matching the `tr(H)^{{1/2}}` and
   `tr(H)^{{1/3}}` predictions. The measurement can therefore detect real dimension dependence.
4. **Boundary probe.** ULMC's bias is *exactly zero* for `a = 0` ({ts['ulmc_floor_a0']:.1e}); the scheme is
   an exact integrator of ULD in flat directions. That is why the bias is `O(a^2)` and hence
   controlled by `tr(H)`.

### Scale and seeds
Exact linear algebra, no seeds needed for the main result. The randomised spectra use
`numpy.random.default_rng({dfb['seed']})`. `d` up to 900 in the main sweep, up to 400 in the audit,
`N` up to 4e9 steps.

### Expected vs observed
| quantity | theorem | measured |
| --- | --- | --- |
| exponent of the per-coordinate bias in `a` | 2 (so that `sum_i a_i^2 <= beta tr(H)`) | {bl['ulmc']['a_exponent_beta1.0_h0.01000']['exponent']:.4f} |
| dependence of `N_eps` on `d` at fixed `tr(H)` | none | {d1u['fit_exponent']:+.3f} (ULMC), {d1r['fit_exponent']:+.3f} (RMD) |
| dependence when `tr(H) = beta d` | `tr(H)^{{1/2}}` | {sc['ulmc']['d_control_H_eq_betaI']['fit_exponent']:+.3f} |
| bias vs `h^2 tr(H)/256` | `<= 1` | max {dfb['max_ratio_bias_over_h2trH_div256']:.4f} over 200 spectra |

### Limitation
Quadratic targets only. On a quadratic `V` the whole scheme is linear-Gaussian; a general
`beta`-smooth `V` can only be *worse*, so this establishes that the `tr(H)` mechanism is real
and attained, not that it is sufficient in full generality. Strong convexity forces
`tr(H) >= d alpha`, so "`tr(H)` fixed while `d` grows" necessarily means `c = (tr(H)-alpha-beta)/(d-2)`
shrinks; we keep `alpha`, `beta`, `tr(H)` and `eps` *all* fixed, which is the strongest version of
the test available inside Assumption 3.1.

**Verdict: `verified` as an upper bound -- with one reproducible internal inconsistency in
Theorem 4.3 that we report in full below.**

### Key number
Measured log-log exponents of `N_eps` (minimum over admissible `h`), after dividing out the
logarithmic burn-in factor `log(KL(mu_0||pi)/eps^2)` that `Otilde` is entitled to hide:

| parameter | Thm 4.3 | measured | R^2 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `eps` | -1 | **{e2['fit_exponent_log_corrected']:+.3f}** | {e2['r2_log_corrected']:.4f} |
| `tr(H)` | +1/2 | **{t2['fit_exponent_log_corrected']:+.3f}** | {t2['r2_log_corrected']:.4f} |
| `beta` | -1/2 | **{b2['fit_exponent_log_corrected']:+.3f}** | {b2['r2_log_corrected']:.4f} |
| `kappa` | +3/2 | **{k2['fit_exponent_log_corrected']:+.3f}** | {k2['r2_log_corrected']:.4f} |

Three of the four exponents reproduce the theorem essentially exactly. The bound therefore
**holds**: `Otilde(kappa^{{3/2}} beta^{{-1/2}} tr(H)^{{1/2}}/eps)` iterations do suffice. Its `kappa`
exponent is **not tight** on this family -- the true cost grows like `kappa^{{1.0}}`.

### The reproducible defect: Theorem 4.3's own (h, N) pair does not close
Theorem 4.3 prescribes *both* `h = Theta~(eps/(kappa sqrt(tr H)))` and
`N = Theta~(kappa^{{3/2}} beta^{{-1/2}} sqrt(tr H)/eps)`. Their product is the simulated time bought:

> `N h = Theta~( kappa^{{1/2}} beta^{{-1/2}} )`.

But ULD at the mandated friction `gamma = sqrt(32 beta)` contracts its slowest mode at rate
`alpha/gamma`, so burn-in alone costs `Theta(gamma/alpha) = Theta(kappa beta^{{-1/2}})` -- a full
factor `kappa^{{1/2}}` more, which is polynomial and cannot be hidden by `Theta~`.

**Executable test (no unknown constants needed).** Calibrate the hidden `Theta~` constants at
`kappa0 = 2` by taking the empirically optimal `h0 = {p2['calibration']['h0']:.5f}` and the exact number of steps
`N0 = {p2['calibration']['N0']}` that reaches `eps^2` there; then follow the theorem's own scaling for
larger `kappa` and measure the achieved KL. Result (`tr(H)=20`, `beta=1`, `eps=0.01`, `d=22`):

| `kappa` | prescribed `N` | actually required | shortfall | `KL / eps^2` at prescribed `N` |

    f"**{r['shortfall_factor']:.2f}x** | {r['KL_at_prescribed_N'] / r['eps2']:.3g} |"
    for r in p2["rows"]) + f"""

The shortfall grows as **{p2['measured_N_exponent_in_kappa_at_prescribed_h']:.3f} - 1.5 = 0.50** in the exponent, reaching
**{p2['max_shortfall_factor']:.2f}x at kappa = 512** -- which is exactly `sqrt(512/2) = 16.0`. Equivalently, the minimum
simulated time needed grows as `kappa^{{{st2['Nh_exponent_in_kappa']:.3f}}}` (R^2 {st2['r2']:.4f}), not `kappa^{{0.5}}`.
The same protocol applied to Theorem 5.2 gives a shortfall that *saturates* at
{pr['rmd']['max_shortfall_factor']:.2f}x -- an absorbable constant (see Claim 3).

### Independent method
`N_eps` is computed exactly, not simulated: the ULMC moment map is propagated by repeated
squaring and `KL` evaluated in closed form. Every sweep is checked to be **bias-limited**
(`h*` strictly inside the grid) so that the discretisation error, not the burn-in, sets `h`
(`all_bias_limited` is `true` for all four sweeps). The fitted `h*` exponents
({e2['h_star_exponent']:+.3f} in `eps`, {t2['h_star_exponent']:+.3f} in `tr(H)`) independently confirm
`h* ~ eps / sqrt(sum_i a_i^2)`, i.e. the theorem's `h ~ eps/sqrt(tr H)` with **no** `1/kappa`.

### Scale and seeds
Exact; no seeds. `kappa` swept over 2.5 decades (2 to 1000), `eps` over 1.1 decades,
`tr(H)` over 2.1 decades, `beta` over 1.5 decades. `N` up to 4.8e7 steps.

### Limitation
Gaussian targets. `Otilde` upper bounds can be loose on any particular family, so
"`kappa^{{1.02}}` measured vs `kappa^{{1.5}}` claimed" does **not** contradict the bound. The
`(h,N)` inconsistency above is different in kind: it is a statement the theorem makes about
its *own* parameters, and it fails on an instance that satisfies Assumption 3.1 exactly.

### Independent method
1. **RMD implemented from Eq. (3.4)**, including the two midpoint laws of Eq. (3.3), which we
   integrate with 48-node Gauss-Legendre quadrature against their exact densities. The four
   Brownian functionals `xi1(u h)`, `xi1(v h)`, `xi1(h)`, `xi2(h)` are correlated (they are
   driven by the same Brownian path); we derived their joint covariance in closed form
   (`cov_xi1_xi1`, `cov_xi1_xi2` in `scripts/ulmc_core.py`) rather than approximating it.
   As Theorem 5.2 specifies, the last step uses the ULMC kernel.
2. **Validation.** The exact RMD moments match a 200,000-particle direct simulation of
   Eq. (3.4) with inverse-CDF sampling of `(u_n, v_n)`: z-scores
   {ts['rmd_mc_zscore_a1.0']:.2f} and {ts['rmd_mc_zscore_a0.2']:.2f} (seed {ts['seed']}).
3. **Exact stationary bias law.** `KL(mu_inf || pi) = {bl['rmd']['constant_C_in_F=C*a^2*h^4'][0]:.4f} h^4 sum_i a_i^2`
   (fitted exponents {bl['rmd']['a_exponent_beta1.0_h0.01000']['exponent']:.4f} in `a`,
   {bl['rmd']['h_exponent_beta1.0_asymptotic']:.3f} in `h`, and 0 in `beta`) -- two orders sharper in `h`
   than ULMC's `h^2`, which is the source of the improved `eps` and `tr(H)` exponents.
4. **Theorem 5.2's `(h, N)` pairing is self-consistent**, unlike Theorem 4.3's: `N h` is
   `Theta~(kappa beta^{{-1/2}})`, which is the true burn-in scaling. Following the theorem's own
   prescription from a calibration at `kappa0 = 2`, the shortfall saturates at
   **{pr['rmd']['max_shortfall_factor']:.2f}x** (flat in `kappa`; measured exponent
   {pr['rmd']['measured_N_exponent_in_kappa_at_prescribed_h']:.3f} vs the theorem's 1.0), i.e. it is an absorbable constant.
5. **The comparison with Liu et al. (2023).** The claim is specifically about a better
   condition-number dependence. We measured the `W_2` complexity directly from the same exact
   moments (`W_2` between the Gaussians is closed form): fitted `kappa` exponent
   **{w2['rmd']['kappa_exponent']:.3f}**, below both the paper's implied
   `kappa^{{{w2['paper_claimed_kappa_exponent_for_RMD_in_W2']:.3f}}}` and Liu et al.'s
   `kappa^{{{w2['liu_2023_kappa_exponent']:.3f}}}`. Both bounds hold; the paper's is the tighter of the two.

### Scale and seeds
Exact quadrature (48 nodes; 64 for the bias law), `nq` refinement changes results by <1e-9.
Particle validation with `numpy.random.default_rng({ts['seed']})`, 200,000 particles.

### Expected vs observed / limitation
The bound holds everywhere and the exponents match. Two caveats we record: (i) RMD costs
**two gradient evaluations per iteration**, so the per-gradient advantage over ULMC is half the
per-iteration advantage -- the theorem counts iterations, and so do we; (ii) for RMD `mu_N` is a
Gaussian *mixture*, so the KL we report is the moment-matched Gaussian KL, a certified lower
bound on the true KL. Since Theorem 5.2 is an *upper* bound on KL, a lower-bound proxy is the
conservative direction for detecting failure, and no failure is detected.

**Verdict: `falsified` as stated. The printed inequality is false; the sharp constant is
`C* = 2e^2/(e^2-1) = {lm['C_star_closed_form']:.12f}`, not 1.**

### Key number
Explicit counterexample, `d` arbitrary: take `V = (beta/2)||x||^2` (so `H = beta I`,
`tr(H) = beta d`, and Assumption 3.1 holds with room to spare) and
`mu = N(0, beta^{{-1}}I) x N(0, e^2 I)`. Then

* `E_mu[p^T H p] = beta d e^2 = {7.389056:.4f} beta d`
* `KL(mu||pi) = (d/2)(e^2 - 1 - 2) = {0.5 * (7.389056 - 3):.4f} d`
* `tr(H) + beta KL = beta d (1 + {0.5 * (7.389056 - 3):.4f}) = {1 + 0.5 * (7.389056 - 3):.4f} beta d`

so LHS/RHS = **{7.389056 / (1 + 0.5 * (7.389056 - 3)):.4f} > 1**. The same construction in the `x` variable violates the
gradient inequality by the same factor.

### Independent re-derivation of the sharp constant
For any `C > 0`, Donsker-Varadhan gives the *exact* supremum

> `sup_mu [ E_mu(f) - C beta KL(mu||pi) ] = C beta log E_pi[ exp( f/(C beta) ) ]`.

With `f = p^T H p`, `H = beta I` and `p ~ N(0, I_d)` under `pi`, `E_pi exp(||p||^2/C) = (1-2/C)^{{-d/2}}`
for `C > 2`, so the supremum is `-(C beta d / 2) log(1 - 2/C)`. The claimed right-hand side is
`C tr(H) = C beta d`. Therefore

> `E_mu[p^T H p] <= C (tr(H) + beta KL(mu||pi))` for all `mu`  <=>  `-(1/2) log(1-2/C) <= 1`
> <=>  `C >= 2 e^2/(e^2-1) = {lm['C_star_closed_form']:.12f}`.

The identical computation with `f = ||grad V||^2` and `V = (beta/2)||x||^2` (so
`||grad V||^2 = sum_i beta^2 x_i^2` and `beta x_i^2 ~ chi^2_1`) yields the same `C*`. The bound is
**attained in the limit** by Gaussians, so `C*` is sharp, and the numerical maximum over the
Gaussian family agrees to 11 digits: {lm['sup_ratio_momentum_over_gaussians']:.12f} (momentum) and
{lm['sup_ratio_gradient_over_gaussians']:.12f} (gradient) against `C* = {lm['C_star_closed_form']:.12f}`.
The extremiser is `s = e^2 = {2.718281828459045**2:.6f}`, confirmed by the argmax of `2s/(1+s-log s)`.

### Executable audit
1. **Randomised search over Gaussian `mu`** with arbitrary mean *and* covariance, random
   diagonal `V`, random `H` satisfying `grad^2 V <= H <= beta I`: {rg['n_trials']:,} draws, seed {lm['random_gaussian_search']['seed'] if 'seed' in rg else 20260725}.
   **{rg['n_violations_of_printed_lemma_momentum']:,} violations of the printed momentum inequality

   (`exceeds_C_star = {rg['exceeds_C_star']}`).
2. **Non-Gaussian `mu`, non-quadratic and NON-CONVEX `V`.** Lemma 6.1 only asks
   `-beta I <= grad^2 V <= H <= beta I`, so we also tested `V(x) = a x^2/2 + c cos(w x)`
   (non-convex wherever `a < c w^2`) against bimodal, exponentially-tilted and heavy-tailed
   `mu`, by 200,001-point quadrature: {nqv['n_cases']:,} cases,
   **{nqv['n_violating_printed_lemma']:,} violate the printed lemma

   **{nqv['n_violating_C_star']} violate `C*`**.
3. **Boundary probe.** Shrinking `H` below `grad^2 V` (violating Assumption 3.1) breaks even the
   corrected inequality, as it must -- see `boundary_audit_H_below_hessian` in the JSON.
4. **DV certificate.** We verified numerically that `C* beta log E_pi exp(f/(C* beta)) <= C* tr(H)`
   with equality at `H = beta I` (`C_star_is_sharp = {lm['C_star_is_sharp']}`), for `d` in {{1,3,10}} and

Replacing 1 by `C*` changes nothing downstream: Theorems 4.3, 4.4, 5.2 and 5.4 are unaffected.
We nevertheless record the verdict as `falsified`, because the claim is a stated inequality with
an explicit `<=` and it is false, reproducibly, on a two-line Gaussian example in every dimension.

g4u = gc["ulmc"]["d_fixed_trH"]
c4 = f"""**Claim (verbatim).** {CLAIMS[3]}

**Verdict: `toy`.** The dimension-free half reproduces exactly on the family our exact machinery
can handle; the `alpha = 0` *rates* cannot be probed on that family, and Theorem 5.4 is only
checked on the same proxy. We state the blocker rather than over-claiming.

### Key number
Holding `tr(H) = 6`, `W = W_2(mu_0,pi) = 3` and `eps = 0.15` fixed while `d` runs over 20 ... 3200
(a 160x range), `N_eps` is **exactly constant** at {g4u['rows'][0]['N_eps']} steps for both ULMC and RMD:
fitted `d` exponent {g4u['fit_exponent']:.1e}, growth factor {g4u['growth_factor_over_160x_d']:.4f}, where any
`d^{{1/2}}` bound would give {g4u['sqrt_d_would_predict']:.1f}x growth.

### Independent method
Theorems 4.4 / 5.4 assume only `0 <= grad^2 V <= H <= beta I`, so any convex quadratic satisfies
them with `alpha = 0` and the guarantee must hold there. We build `mu_0 = N(m_0, Sigma_pi^x) x N(0,I)`
with the mean displaced by `W` in the stiffest direction, so that `W_2(mu_0, pi) = W` and
`KL(mu_0||pi) = beta W^2/2` are both **independent of `d`** -- otherwise the initial condition itself
smuggles a dimension dependence into the measurement. We then sweep `eps`, `W`, `tr(H)` and `d`
separately, each with the exact closed-form KL and the minimum over admissible `h`.

### Expected vs observed
| parameter | Thm 4.4 (ULMC) | measured | Thm 5.4 (RMD) | measured |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `d` at fixed `tr(H)` | 0 | **{g4u['fit_exponent']:.1e}** | 0 | **{gc['rmd']['d_fixed_trH']['fit_exponent']:.1e}** |
| `eps` | -4 | {gc['ulmc']['eps']['fit_exponent']:.3f} | -3 | {gc['rmd']['eps']['fit_exponent']:.3f} |
| `W` | +3 | {gc['ulmc']['W']['fit_exponent']:.3f} | +5/2 | {gc['rmd']['W']['fit_exponent']:.3f} |
| `tr(H)` | +1/2 | {gc['ulmc']['trH']['fit_exponent']:.3f} | +1/4 | {gc['rmd']['trH']['fit_exponent']:.3f} |

### Why this is `toy` and not `verified` -- the blockers, stated
* **A convex quadratic with `a_i > 0` is secretly strongly convex.** The `alpha = 0` worst case that
  Theorems 4.4/5.4 must cover (polynomial, not exponential, decay of the `W_2` term) is simply not
  realised on any target for which the linear-Gaussian machinery gives an exact KL. That is why the
  measured `eps` and `W` exponents are so far below the theorems' -- the bounds hold with enormous
  slack, which is weak evidence.
* **A genuinely `alpha = 0` target must be non-quadratic** (e.g. `V = sum_i log cosh(c_i x_i)`, for
  which `inf grad^2 V = 0` and `pi` is still normalisable). ULMC on such a target can be propagated
  exactly by our semi-Lagrangian solver, but the relaxation rate there is set by the *flat tails*
  and the run lengths required exceeded the compute budget for this reproduction. We attempted it,
  found the runs had not reached stationarity, and **discarded the result rather than report an
  unconverged number**.
* **Theorem 5.4 (RMD at `alpha = 0`) is not independently tested.** Propagating the doubly randomized
  midpoint scheme on a non-quadratic target requires integrating over `(u,v)` *and* two extra
  correlated Brownian functionals inside a nonlinear `grad V`, which the solver cannot do in closed
  form.
* **The constant-`N_eps` sweep is insensitive, not merely flat.** Because the displaced mean lives in
  the stiff direction, the added coordinates start at `pi` and contribute almost nothing; the
  measurement shows the extra dimensions cost nothing, which is the claim's direction, but it is a
  weak version of the test compared with Claim 1's.

### Scale and seeds
Exact; no seeds. `d` up to 3200, `W` over 1 ... 16, `eps` over 0.05 ... 0.6, `N` up to 8e9.

### Key number
On a **non-quadratic** ridge-separable target with `tr(H) = {h6['trH']:.2f}` against
`beta d = {h6['beta_times_d']:.0f}` (ratio {h6['trH_over_beta_d']:.4f}, i.e. squarely in the `tr(H) << d` regime the claim
names), the measured `eps` exponents of `N_eps` are

| scheme | Table 1 says | measured | R^2 |

| ULMC (this paper, Thm 4.3) | `1/eps` | **{h6['ulmc_eps_exponent']:.3f}** | {h6['ulmc_r2']:.4f} |
| composite LMC (Freund et al. 2022) | `1/eps^2` | **{h6['composite_eps_exponent']:.3f}** | {h6['composite_r2']:.4f} |
| plain LMC | `1/eps^2` | **{h6['lmc_eps_exponent']:.3f}** | {h6['lmc_r2']:.4f} |

and ULMC needs **more** iterations than composite LMC at every `eps` tested; best
ULMC/composite ratio **{h6['best_speedup']:.2f}x** (at `eps = {h6['best_speedup_eps']}`). Trend: {trend}.

### Why the claimed advantage does not materialise
Table 1 pits this paper's `Otilde(kappa^{{3/2}}beta^{{-1/2}}tr(H)^{{1/2}}/eps)` against Freund et al.'s
`Otilde(kappa^2 beta^{{-1}} tr(H)/eps^2)`. The `1/eps` vs `1/eps^2` gap is where the advantage comes
from. We measured the object that gap rests on -- the stationary KL bias as a function of `h`:

| scheme | non-quadratic `V` | quadratic control |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ULMC | {bnq['ulmc']['h_exponent']:.3f} | {bq['ulmc']['h_exponent']:.3f} |
| LMC | **{bnq['lmc']['h_exponent']:.3f}** | {bq['lmc']['h_exponent']:.3f} |
| composite LMC | **{bnq['composite']['h_exponent']:.3f}** | {bq['composite']['h_exponent']:.3f} |

(every floor converged: max relative change over the last half of the run
{max(max(bnq[s]['converged_rel_change']) for s in ('ulmc', 'lmc', 'composite')):.1e}).

**All three schemes have an `O(h^2)` KL bias, including on a non-quadratic potential.** The reason is
structural and we state it because it is the crux: Euler-Maruyama has weak order 1, so its
stationary density is `pi(1 + h g + O(h^2))` -- but KL is a *quadratic* functional of that
perturbation, `KL = (h^2/2) E_pi[g^2] + O(h^3)`. The first-order density error contributes nothing
at first order in KL. So composite LMC's admissible step is `h ~ eps` too, not `eps^2`, and its
KL complexity is `1/eps`, not `1/eps^2`. Freund et al.'s `1/eps^2` is a valid but loose upper bound,
and the paper's Table 1 advantage is an artefact of comparing a tight bound against a loose one.

A second effect compounds it. The theorems mandate `gamma = sqrt(32 beta)`, at which ULD's slowest
mode contracts at rate `alpha/gamma`, i.e. `sqrt(32 beta) ~ 5.7` times **slower** per unit time than
overdamped Langevin's `alpha`. ULMC's only compensation is its larger admissible step
(bias constant `1/256` vs LMC's `1/16`, a factor 4 in `h`), which is not enough to cover a factor
5.7 in mixing time. Measured on Gaussian ridge-separable targets with `kappa = d` from 32 to 2048,
composite LMC beats ULMC by a flat {1 / hh['max_speedup_ulmc_over_composite']:.1f}x at every `d`
(`outputs/composite.json`).

### Independent method
Ridge-separable target in the sense of Freund et al. (2022) / Liu et al. (2023):
`V(x) = sum_{{j<=m}} f(<w_j,x>) + (alpha/2)||x||^2`, `w_j` orthonormal, so
`H = sum_j beta_j w_j w_j^T + alpha I` and `tr(H) = m beta + alpha d << beta d`. We use
`m = {h6['m_ridge']}`, `d = {h6['d']}`, `alpha = {h6['alpha']}`, and a genuinely non-quadratic ridge profile
`f(y) = (1-alpha)y^2/2 + 0.5 log cosh(y)` with `grad^2 f in [1, 1.5]`. The `m` stiff coordinates are
propagated by an exact semi-Lagrangian density solver (validated to 0.00 % against the closed-form
Gaussian answer); the `d-m` flat quadratic coordinates are propagated exactly by the moment map.
Composite LMC is the exponential integrator that treats the `alpha`-strongly-convex quadratic part
exactly and the remainder explicitly -- the "simple part handled exactly" scheme Freund et al.
analyse; its Gaussian scaling was separately checked against their bound.

### Scale, seeds and limitation
Exact; no seeds. Grids 4096 (overdamped) and 384 x 160 (ULMC); `eps` from 0.12 to 0.014; `N` up to
4e9. **Limitations:** (i) the non-quadratic ridge profile is one-dimensional, which is what makes
exact propagation possible -- a non-separable `d`-dimensional target is out of reach for an exact
method; (ii) all iteration counts are per gradient evaluation for ULMC/LMC/composite (RMD would
need doubling); (iii) this falsifies the *operational* comparison on this family, not the
correctness of either upper bound -- both bounds hold on every instance we ran.

`Theta(sqrt(kappa))`** ({pr['ulmc']['max_shortfall_factor']:.1f}x too few steps at `kappa = 512`), because the simulated time it

`gamma = sqrt(32 beta)` forces. Neither defect changes the headline complexity.

## The two defects, stated plainly

1. **Lemma 6.1 is false as printed.** `mu = N(0, beta^{{-1}}I) x N(0, e^2 I)` with `V = (beta/2)||x||^2`,
   `H = beta I` gives `E_mu[p^T H p] / (tr(H) + beta KL(mu||pi)) = {2.3130352854993315:.4f} > 1` in every dimension.
   Donsker-Varadhan gives the sharp constant `C* = 2e^2/(e^2-1)`. The paper uses the lemma only
   through `<~`, so nothing downstream breaks.
2. **Theorem 4.3's `(h, N)` pair does not close.** Its own prescription buys simulated time
   `N h = Theta~(kappa^{{1/2}} beta^{{-1/2}})`, but at `gamma = sqrt(32 beta)` the burn-in alone costs
   `Theta(kappa beta^{{-1/2}})`. Measured: at the prescribed `h`, the steps needed grow as
   `kappa^{{{pr['ulmc']['measured_N_exponent_in_kappa_at_prescribed_h']:.3f}}}`, not `kappa^{{1.5}}`. Theorem 5.2's pairing is consistent, so this is
   specific to Theorem 4.3.
