pub fn compared(stage: MpccStage) -> boolExpand description
Are a stage’s S answers compared with the other compared stage’s, the
lower objective winning, rather than ending the ladder? The continuation
and the exact product: on a nonconvex model each reaches local minima the
other avoids, and neither order wins on both corpora we have. Gate 0
(60 feasible cells) at f*: continuation first 60, exact first 48.
CALIPSO bunny-hop (5 seeds) at the best known objective: exact first 5,
continuation first 2 — the continuation settles on S-stationary
trajectories at 1111–1169 against 462.6. Running both and keeping the
lower objective gets every one of those, for the iterations of both.
The penalty runs only when neither answers.
