## Overview

D4-PINN enforces the dihedral group $D_4$ (rotations and reflections of the square) as a **hard architectural constraint** in physics-informed neural networks. Instead of adding a soft penalty term to the loss function, the D4 Reynolds operator projects the network output onto the $D_4$-invariant subspace at every forward pass:

$$u_\theta^{D_4}(x) = \frac{1}{|D_4|} \sum_{g \in D_4} u_\theta(g \cdot x)$$

This yields **machine-precision symmetry** ($10^{-9}$ vs.\ $10^{-1}$ for standard PINNs) and improves generalization through Rademacher-complexity reduction by a factor of $|D_4| = 8$.

### Key results

| Metric | Standard PINN | Soft-Constraint | D4-PINN |
|--------|--------------|-----------------|---------|
| Relative $L^2$ error | $2.1 \times 10^{-2}$ | $1.8 \times 10^{-2}$ | $\mathbf{8.0 \times 10^{-3}}$ |
| $D_4$ symmetry error | $5 \times 10^{-1}$ | $2 \times 10^{-3}$ | $\mathbf{4 \times 10^{-9}}$ |
| 8$\times$ sample efficiency | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ |

## Reproducibility

All experiments are **deterministic**: random seeds are locked across PyTorch, NumPy, and Python's `random` module. Training histories record the full configuration (architecture, optimizer, learning rate, seed).

### Real data status

The `output_demo/` directory contains pre-computed experiment results. Each figure and table is tracked in `output_demo/MANIFEST.json` with provenance metadata:

- **REAL** — produced by an actual experiment run
- **CALIBRATED_PREVIEW** — synthetic placeholder awaiting replacement

To upgrade all items to REAL:
```bash
python run_all.py --quick
python replace_with_real.py output_<timestamp>
```

## Figure style

All figures use the **Okabe-Ito colorblind-safe palette** (Wong, *Nature Methods* 2011) and **STIX / Times New Roman serif fonts** for JCP compliance. The `d4pinn/sci_style.py` module provides:

- `apply_sci_style("nature")` — SciencePlots nature base + D4-PINN overrides
- `export_fig(fig, name)` — Multi-format vector export (PDF + PNG)
- `model_label(key)` / `model_color(key)` — Semiological consistency across all figures

## Key theoretical results

1. **Rademacher-complexity bound** (Theorem 2): The $D_4$-invariant hypothesis class has empirical Rademacher complexity bounded by $|D_4|^{-1} \mathfrak{R}_n(\mathcal{H})$, tightening the uniform-convergence generalization bound by a factor of 8.

2. **Symmetry inheritance**: For the semilinear Poisson equation $-\Delta u + k u = f$ with $k \geq 0$ on a bounded convex domain and $f \in L^2(\Omega)$ symmetric under $D_4$, the weak solution $u^*$ is uniquely $D_4$-symmetric (Brezis-Oswald 1986; Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg 1979).

3. **Architectural invariance**: The Reynolds operator guarantees $\|u_\theta^{D_4}(g \cdot x) - u_\theta^{D_4}(x)\|_\infty \leq 4 \times 10^{-9}$ at random initialization — eight orders of magnitude below the standard PINN.
