~1.15 bit/param demonstrated; 0.1 bit/param exploratoryobserved

Value kind	observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
Scope	The 0.1-bit result measures weight-space MSE and was not subjected to full downstream evaluation; it should not be presented as an experimentally validated functional-model floor.
