69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|

|
84
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
85
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
88

+
as of the date such litigation is filed.

92
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

93
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
96
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
97
|
+

|
+
|
|
101
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
102
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
103
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
104
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of

|
105
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
108
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
109
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
110
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
111
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
112
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
113
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
114
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
115
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
116
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents

+
as modifying the License.

+
|
|
124

+

|
125

|
|
126

+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
127

+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
129
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
132
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
133
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
134
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
135
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
136
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
137
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
140
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
141
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
142
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
145
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
146
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
147
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
148
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
149
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
150
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
151
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
152
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
155
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
156
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
157
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
158
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
159
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
160
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
161
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
162
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
163
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
164
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
167
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
168
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
169
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
170
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
171
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
172
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
175
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

**Know whether your inferred dynamics are real, before you interpret them.**

ayna reads the outputs of a fitted data-driven dynamics model (LFADS, a

sequential autoencoder, a neural ODE, anything that turns spikes into latents
|

and rates) and reports *which failure mode it has, and where*. It does not

train anything. It runs on a CPU in seconds.

A model can reconstruct held-out neurons almost perfectly and still give you
|
|
57
|
+
the wrong dynamics. The Computation-through-Dynamics Toolkit (CtD; Versteeg et
|
|
58
|
+
al., *PLOS Comput Biol* 2026) names three ways this happens:
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
- **Underfitting** — the model misses latent structure that is really there.
|
|
61
|
+
- **Feature invention** — the model adds latent structure that is not there.
|
|
62
|
+
Because the readout ignores it, it costs nothing in reconstruction. In CtD's
|
|
63
|
+
3BFF sweep, the models that invent features *win* on co-BPS.
|
|
64
|
+
- **Dynamical misattribution** — the inferred inputs do the work the dynamics
|
|
65
|
+
should do. Latents and rates can both look right. Only the inputs, and the
|
|
66
|
+
dynamics left behind, are wrong.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
CtD measures all three when ground truth is known: State R², Rate R² and
|
|
69
|
+
Input R². On a real recording there is no ground truth, and reconstruction
|
|
70
|
+
alone points the wrong way. ayna is the checklist for that situation. It runs
|
|
71
|
+
every check the outputs allow, says which ones it could not run, and gets
|
|
72
|
+
sharper when you give it more.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
### Where this sits
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
- **CtD** is the research platform. It has the datasets, the training
|
|
77
|
+
pipelines and the ground-truth metrics, and it needs torch, Lightning, Ray,
|
|
78
|
+
Hydra and several GB of pretrained models.
|
|
79
|
+
- **The Neural Latents Benchmark** scores reconstruction on real recordings.
|
|
80
|
+
- **ayna** is the step after training, on your own data. It ports CtD's
|
|
81
|
+
metrics to numpy, adds probes that need no ground truth, turns both into
|
|
82
|
+
named findings, and validates its own detectors wherever ground truth exists.

## Quickstart
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
```bash
|
|
89
|
+
# 1. A model output with known, deliberately injected faults
|
|
90
|
+
ayna synth field --faults feature_invention misattribution=0.8
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
# 2. Diagnose it -- no ground truth used for the verdicts
|
|
93
|
+
ayna scan datasets/field.npz --out reports/field
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
# 3. A latent-size sweep: is the best co-BPS model the one to trust?
|
|
96
|
+
ayna synth sweep --sweep
|
|
97
|
+
ayna select datasets/sweep --out reports/sweep --plot
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
# 4. How often are the detectors right? (compares against ground truth)
|
|
100
|
+
ayna validate
|
|
101
|
+
```
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
From Python:
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
```python
|
|
106
|
+
from ayna import load_bundle, scan
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
report = scan(load_bundle("run.npz"))
|
|
109
|
+
for f in report["findings"]:
|
|
110
|
+
if f["tier"] < 2: # tier 2 = ground-truth confirmations
|
|
111
|
+
print(f["severity"], f["id"], f["where"])
|
|
112
|
+
print(" ", f["what"])
|
|
113
|
+
```
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
What a scan says (abridged):
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
```
|
|
118
|
+
WARNING (experimental) DYNAMICAL_MISATTRIBUTION [tier 0: outputs only]

```
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
`scan` exits with status 1 when a finding from the model's outputs is an
|
|
132
|
+
error, so it can gate a pipeline.

## Three tiers of evidence
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
| Tier | You provide | Unlocks |
|
|
139
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
140
|
+
| **0** | spikes, predicted rates, latents (+ held-out neurons, + inferred or supplied inputs) | everything below marked tier 0 |
|
|
141
|
+
| **1** | a dynamics callable `f(z, u) -> z_next` (Python API) | autonomous-rollout and zero-input fixed-point probes |
|
|
142
|
+
| **2** | true latents / rates / inputs (synthetic data only) | CtD's Rate R², State R², Input R², and `ayna validate` |
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
Every finding records the tier it came from. A real recording gets tier 0, or
|
|
145
|
+
tier 1 if you attach the dynamics. Tier 2 exists so the tier-0 and tier-1
|
|
146
|
+
verdicts can be checked.
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
## The detectors
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
| Finding | Question it answers | Tier |
|
|
151
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
152
|
+
| `UNDERFITTING` | Do the validation residuals share slow structure beyond chance? Does co-BPS fail to beat a smoothed-spikes Poisson GLM? Reports *when* in the trial and *which* neurons. | 0 |
|
|
153
|
+
| `FEATURE_INVENTION` | Can the latents be regenerated from the model's own rates (cycle-consistency)? Reports *which latent PCs* cannot, and their share of variance. | 0 |
|
|
154
|
+
| `READOUT_NULLSPACE` | Are there latent directions the readout ignores, where invention could hide later? | 0 |
|
|
155
|
+
| `NONLINEAR_READOUT` | Is the latent→log-rate map far from linear? If so, the linear metrics are not trusted and ayna uses a nonlinear cycle-consistency instead. | 0 |
|
|
156
|
+
| `DYNAMICAL_MISATTRIBUTION` *(experimental)* | Do the latents at the same instant predict the inferred inputs (*input leakage*)? With inputs clamped to zero, do the model's own dynamics lose a state that simply holding would keep? | 0 / 1 |
|
|
157
|
+
| `INPUT_INHERITED_STRUCTURE` | With supplied inputs, how much of the latent variance is just a short filter of the inputs (CtD's RandomTarget warning)? | 0 |
|
|
158
|
+
| `RECONSTRUCTION_TRAP` | In a sweep, is the best-co-BPS model off the reconstruction × simplicity Pareto front's knee? (`ayna select`) | 0 |
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
`DYNAMICAL_MISATTRIBUTION` is ayna's own contribution and is labelled
|
|
161
|
+
experimental. CtD lists a ground-truth-free input-accuracy metric as "a major
|
|
162
|
+
focus of future work". The leakage probe tests one idea from CtD Fig 6B:
|
|
163
|
+
badly inferred inputs "resembled the state of the network". In closed-loop
|
|
164
|
+
tasks, true inputs (sensory feedback) can legitimately depend on the state, so
|
|
165
|
+
read that finding with the task in mind.
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
## Validation
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
`ayna validate` simulates a corpus. Each case is a known system, either a
|
|
170
|
+
3-bit flip-flop or an input-driven system with no memory, plus simulated model
|
|
171
|
+
outputs with one fault injected at a random severity. Severities run from
|
|
172
|
+
barely there to blatant, and noise and recording size vary too. ayna scans
|
|
173
|
+
each case without ground truth, then compares each verdict with the
|
|
174
|
+
ground-truth verdict on the same bundle.
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
From `ayna validate --n 10 --seed 7` (85 bundles). This corpus was not used
|
|
177
|
+
to set any threshold:
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
| detector | tier | TP | FP | FN | TN | precision | recall |
|
|
180
|
+
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
181
|
+
| `FEATURE_INVENTION` | 0 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 71 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
|
|
182
|
+
| `DYNAMICAL_MISATTRIBUTION` | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 30 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
|
|
183
|
+
| `DYNAMICAL_MISATTRIBUTION` | 1 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 30 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
|
|
184
|
+
| `INPUT_INHERITED_STRUCTURE` | 0 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
|
|
185
|
+
| `NONLINEAR_READOUT` | 0 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 75 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
|
|
186
|
+
| `UNDERFITTING` | 0 | 13 | 2 | 2 | 68 | 0.87 | 0.87 |
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
The `UNDERFITTING` disagreements are informative:
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
- **The two "false positives"** are injected underfits so mild that Rate R²
|
|
191
|
+
stays above the 0.90 truth line. The residual probe still sees the missing
|
|
192
|
+
shared component. On this corpus that is arguably a correct catch, scored as
|
|
193
|
+
wrong by the definition of truth.
|
|
194
|
+
- **The two misses** are clean models on a nonlinear readout, where the
|
|
195
|
+
nonlinearity amplifies rate noise below the truth line without leaving
|
|
196
|
+
shared structure.
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
Where the truth line came from: it was 0.85 in the first run, on seed 42. It
|
|
199
|
+
was raised to 0.90 after that run, because clean models never fall below 0.93
|
|
200
|
+
while injected underfits sat between 0.85 and 0.93. Seed 7 was run only
|
|
201
|
+
afterwards.
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
**Read this as a test that the detectors work as designed, not that they
|
|
204
|
+
transfer.** ayna's own simulator injected these faults, and the same author
|
|
205
|
+
wrote the detectors. The real test is a corpus of *trained* models with ground
|
|
206
|
+
truth. CtD's latent-size and KL-penalty sweeps are the obvious source:
|
|
207
|
+
`ayna export-ctd` writes them as bundles, and `ayna validate DIR` scores the
|
|
208
|
+
detectors on them. That has not been done yet. Until it has, the thresholds
|
|
209
|
+
are calibrated on ayna's synthetic faults only.

## The bundle
|
|
214
|
+
|
|
215
|
+
One `.npz` per fitted model. Rates are expected counts **per bin**, in the
|
|
216
|
+
same unit as the spikes.
|
|
217
|
+
|
|
218
|
+
| key | shape | |
|
|
219
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
220
|
+
| `spikes` | (R, T, N) | required |
|
|
221
|
+
| `rates` | (R, T, N) | required: predicted, held-in and held-out |
|
|
222
|
+
| `latents` | (R, T, D) | required |
|
|
223
|
+
| `heldout` | (N,) bool | neurons never given to the model (enables co-BPS) |
|
|
224
|
+
| `val` | (R,) bool | validation trials (default: last 20%) |
|
|
225
|
+
| `trial_lens` | (R,) int | for padded trials |
|
|
226
|
+
| `inputs` | (R, T, U) | with `meta["inputs_kind"]` = `supplied` or `inferred` |
|
|
227
|
+
| `true_latents`, `true_rates`, `true_inputs` | | ground truth (tier 2) |
|
|
228
|
+
| `meta` | JSON string | name, model, bin size, anything |
|
|
229
|
+
|
|
230
|
+
```python
|
|
231
|
+
from ayna import Bundle
|
|
232
|
+
Bundle(spikes=y, rates=r, latents=z, heldout=ho, inputs=u_hat,
|
|
233
|
+
meta={"inputs_kind": "inferred", "name": "lfads_run7"}).save("lfads_run7.npz")
|
|
234
|
+
```
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+
Tier 1 is Python-only, because a callable cannot be stored in a `.npz`:
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
```python
|
|
239
|
+
report = scan(load_bundle("run.npz", dynamics=lambda z, u: my_model.step(z, u)))
|
|
240
|
+
```
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
### From the Computation-through-Dynamics Toolkit
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
Inside the CtD environment:
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
```bash
|
|
247
|
+
ayna export-ctd content/trained_models/dd/<run>/ run.npz --model-type LFADS \
|
|
248
|
+
--tt content/trained_models/tt/<tt_run>/
|
|
249
|
+
```
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
The exporter uses only the getters CtD's own `Comparison.compute_metrics`
|
|
252
|
+
uses. It was written against CtD 1.0.2 and tested against stand-in objects,
|
|
253
|
+
**not yet against a live CtD install**, because the pretrained models are Git
|
|
254
|
+
LFS files. Please report any mismatch.
|
|
255
|
+
|
|
256
|
+
## Provenance
|
|
257
|
+
|
|
258
|
+
```bash
|
|
259
|
+
pip install "ayna[provenance]"
|
|
260
|
+
ayna scan run.npz --out reports/run --daftar
|
|
261
|
+
```
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
Each scan becomes a [daftar](https://pypi.org/project/daftar/) run. It records
|
|
264
|
+
the bundle hash, the thresholds, the environment and the headline metrics, so
|
|
265
|
+
`daftar diff` can tell you why two scans disagree.
|
|
266
|
+
|
|
267
|
+
## Thresholds
|
|
268
|
+
|
|
269
|
+
Every threshold has a name and a default, and every one can be overridden:
|
|
270
|
+
|
|
271
|
+
```bash
|
|
272
|
+
ayna scan run.npz --set invention_cycle_warning=0.8 leakage_r2=0.6
|
|
273
|
+
```
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
The defaults come from ayna's synthetic corpus. Absolute values of
|
|
276
|
+
cycle-consistency vary with model class: CtD reports values of 0.3–0.5 for
|
|
277
|
+
well-behaved LFADS models with inferred inputs. Compare models of the same
|
|
278
|
+
class on the same data with `ayna select` before trusting a single scan's
|
|
279
|
+
verdict.
|
|
280
|
+
|
|
281
|
+
## What ayna does not do
|
|
282
|
+
|
|
283
|
+
- It does not train, fit or tune a model.
|
|
284
|
+
- It cannot prove a model's dynamics are right. It can only rule out specific
|
|
285
|
+
ways they are wrong.
|
|
286
|
+
- It has no DSA or Lyapunov comparison yet. Those need a dynamics callable for
|
|
287
|
+
both the true and the inferred system, and are planned for tier 2.
|
|
288
|
+
- The linear metrics assume CtD's linear-exponential observation model.
|
|
289
|
+
`NONLINEAR_READOUT` tells you when that assumption fails, and a nonlinear
|
|
290
|
+
fallback then runs instead.
|
|
291
|
+
|
|
292
|
+
## Roadmap
|
|
293
|
+
|
|
294
|
+
- **0.2** — validate on CtD's own sweeps (NODE latent sizes, LFADS KL
|
|
295
|
+
penalty), calibrate the thresholds per model class with leave-one-task-out
|
|
296
|
+
testing, and add a tier-1 dynamics wrapper for CtD models.
|
|
297
|
+
- **0.3** — readers for real recordings (NWB / Neural Latents Benchmark),
|
|
298
|
+
plus multi-seed consistency.
|
|
299
|
+
- **Later** — `ayna design`: how many neurons and trials a recording needs
|
|
300
|
+
before the dynamics become recoverable at all.
