⛳ 16MB Track Submission: Radial-BitNet (15.6M Parameters)
This PR submits an official entry for the 10-Minute / 16MB Parameter Golf track, achieving a final validation of 2.6034 BPB heavily constrained by a pure ternary-weight architecture.

The approach aggressively deviates from standard FP16 LLM baselines to maximize parameter volume per megabyte, utilizing my proprietary architectural designs (Radial Encoding and FRO) to push performance beyond conventional limits.

🧠 Proprietary Architecture & Innovations
Weight-Only BitNet (W1.58b / A16b): Every linear projection inside the Attention and MLP layers relies on strict ternary matrices (-1, 0, 1) internally explicitly during the forward pass. This allows my 15.6M parameter model to confidently scale capacity while compressing losslessly under Zstandard down to just 12.55 MB, clearing the 16MB limit by over 3.4 Megabytes.
Radial Positional Bypass (Proprietary Design): The architecture features exactly Zero learned sequential positional embeddings. Instead, I integrated my custom
RadialEncoding
algorithm. It mathematically computes Euler-based spatial frequencies over $\phi$ (Golden Ratio) and directly injects this geometric signal into the token embedding, freeing up massive parameter space.
Fractal Resonant Optimization - FRO (Proprietary Optimizer): To handle the shattered gradient momentum of step-quantized ternary weights within the strict 10-minute constraint, I am introducing my custom built-in optimizer: FRO. It enforces extreme early convergence through multi-scale resonance alignment, dramatically outperforming AdamW in this constrained environment.
