Hypothesis
Blind to earlier coordinates, the decoder must take geometry from the latent. Pass, against latent-v2 on the 339 validation icons: (1) at most 15% of reconstructed paths span under half a unit (latent-v2 57%); (2) reconstruction pixel error improves on latent-v2's, paired, interval excluding zero, to 0.140 or less; (3) prior samples all distinct. The earlier criteria are kept below and still reported: A variational autoencoder over codec programs, trained on the 2,681 training icons and their compositions, keeps information in its 64-dimensional latent. Pass requires (1) reconstruction pixel error on the 339 validation icons below the error of the single prior-mean decode, paired, with the 95% interval on the reduction excluding zero; (2) at least 29 of 32 prior samples distinct. Reported without a criterion: reconstruction against the nearest training icon, interpolation and prior-sample sheets, and decode latency.

Written result
Hypothesis. Blind to earlier coordinates, the decoder must take geometry from the latent. Pass, against latent-v2 on the 339 validation icons: (1) at most 15% of reconstructed paths span under half a unit (latent-v2 57%); (2) reconstruction pixel error improves on latent-v2's, paired, interval excluding zero, to 0.140 or less; (3) prior samples all distinct. The earlier criteria are kept below and still reported: A variational autoencoder over codec programs, trained on the 2,681 training icons and their compositions, keeps information in its 64-dimensional latent. Pass requires (1) reconstruction pixel error on the 339 validation icons below the error of the single prior-mean decode, paired, with the 95% interval on the reduction excluding zero; (2) at least 29 of 32 prior samples distinct. Reported without a criterion: reconstruction against the nearest training icon, interpolation and prior-sample sheets, and decode latency.
