Definitions

In plain terms

It determines whether an output is fast, slow, or fully smoothed and controls additional warm-up.

Technical

The contract freezes number of stages, period per stage, average type, valid-input counting, missing propagation, and readiness.

Scope

Changing smoothing can change line identity, not merely make the same output look smoother.

Examples

  • A governed lesson calculates or identifies Stochastic Smoothing only after its inputs, window, state, scale, and edge cases are declared.

Common misconceptions

  • Changing smoothing can change line identity, not merely make the same output look smoother.
