Abstract: Standard compression optimizes for sparsity; JamOne Nano optimizes for entropy-conformance. By implementing a custom gradient operator (CAGS), we actively sculpt neural weights during backpropagation to favor spatial coherence and ternary alignment. This allows a high-density, 31-pass recursive transformer (DIM 512) to converge within a strict 16MB zlib budget without sacrificing structural intelligence.

Official implementation for the OpenAI 16MB Efficiency Challenge.

Technical Innovation: CAGS (Gradient Surgery)

Standard compression techniques like L1 regularization or BitNet optimize for weight sparsity indirectly via the loss function. This serves as a proxy and does not directly correlate with bit-stream compressibility in high-entropy environments.

CAGS instrumentizes the backpropagation pass by scaling the gradient of each parameter proportional to its local zlib-compressibility gain when approaching ternary anchors ${-1, 0, +1}$.

Mathematical Foundation

Instead of a standard gradient $g = \nabla L(w)$, we apply the CAGS-Operator:

$$g_{cags} = g \cdot (1.0 + \alpha \cdot \Psi(w) \cdot \Phi(w))$$

Definitions:

• $\Psi(w)$ (Run-Signal): A local density proxy favoring spatial coherence (zero-runs) to maximize zlib run-length encoding efficiency.
• $\Phi(w)$ (Snap-Gain): Measurement of immediate distance to the nearest ternary anchor point.
• $\alpha$ (Surgery-Scaling): A dynamically scheduled hyperparameter used to balance convergence stability and compression density.

Note: Specific windowing functions for $\Psi(w)$ and $\alpha$-scheduling trajectories are proprietary optimizations of the JamOne-Nano framework.
