Per-feature audit showed `n6_std` sep_ratio = 0.60 — i.e. the +underlying signal *can* separate the classes — but logistic regression was +limited to linear decision boundaries and couldn't model interactions like: + +* `walking`: `n2_std` high **AND** `n6_std` high **AND** `dom_hz ≈ 3 Hz` +* `waving`: `n1_std` high **BUT** `n2_std` low (only close sensors fire) +* `sitting` vs `standing`: same global features, differ in `n6_std` pattern + +LogReg sums weighted features; it cannot represent "AND/BUT" combinations. +A small MLP can: hidden units learn intermediate concepts, then the output +layer combines them. + +## Decisions + +### D1 — Single-hidden-layer MLP, 22 → 32 → 6 + +* Input: the same 22-feature vector from ADR-118. +* Hidden: 32 ReLU units. ~3k weights, enough capacity for 6 classes but + small enough to train in seconds on the 151k-frame set. +* Output: softmax over `n_classes` (discovered dynamically at train time). +* Z-score normalisation: identical to the LogReg path — same + `global_mean` / `global_std` populated by `train_from_recordings`. + +### D2 — Manual backprop, no external ML crate + +`tch` (LibTorch) or `candle` would pull in ~50-200 MB of native deps for a +~3k-parameter network. The forward + backward passes are ~150 LoC of pure +Rust; SGD + momentum + cosine LR decay another ~30. Built-in `f64` +arithmetic is fast enough — full train completes in ~10 seconds on M1 +Mac. + +Optimiser: SGD with momentum 0.9, weight decay 1e-4, base LR 0.05 with +half-cosine decay to 0, batch size 64, 30 epochs.
