Initialization Pathology Placeholder

Current Conference-Paper State

Source: path:paper/conference-paper/figures/init-pathology.tex.

Label: fig:init-pathology.

Inclusion status: This figure file exists under path:paper/conference-paper/figures, but it is not currently input by the conference-paper sections.

Caption headline: Escaping the pretrained trivial solution is a separate optimization challenge.

The current file is a placeholder for a matched random-reinitialization versus adapted-from-base comparison under the modified objective.

Writing Role

This is not currently an active paper figure. If reintroduced, it would support discussion of optimization difficulty around the pretrained $z$-ignoring solution, distinct from the objective-level ELBO failure.

Stale Or Open Items

Do not count this as part of the active body figure set unless an \input{figures/init-pathology} is added back to the conference-paper source.
