the question

Does the masked-diffusion marginal-to-conditional energy proportionality constant depend only on sequence length and vocabulary size?

what came out

The masked-diffusion claim that the marginal-to-conditional kinetic-energy constant C1 depends only on (n,d) is false: C1 sums over the data marginal's support, so restricted support lowers it (4.000 to 1.917 as realizable support shrinks 27/27 to 3/27) while correlation alone does not. The energy-minimizing schedule still holds.

method & receipts

  • Result: mixed
  • Reproducible one script re-runs the whole thing from scratch.
  • Tested — a correctness/benchmark suite ships alongside the code.
