arXiv:2512. 23043v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Averaging (FedAvg) often degrades under non-IID client data, but it remains unclear whether this degradation reflects the loss of client-learned representations or a failure to use representations that are still present.

The analogy between deep neural network forward passes and renormalization group (RG) flows has been repeatedly noted in the literature, but existing treatments remain qualitative: depth is described as a coarse-graining scale, attention is likened to a partition function, and representations are said to flow toward fixed points. No existing work has defined a measurable RG order parameter, tested it under controlled variation of the input distribution, or made quantitative predictions that are empirically verified.
