We develop optimization geometrodynamics as a variational theory of this hidden geometry. Infimal pushforward eliminates all hidden states realizing the same action and composes across optimizer hierarchies. Smooth nondegeneracy gives the hidden susceptibility and the Schur-complement curvature seen after relaxation. In particular, affine pre-reduction perturbations induce the negative-semidefinite interaction curvature −G∗ H −1G, whose mixed entries integrate to finite mechanism contrasts.  \nThe main realization is the determinant-one affine-invariant SPD action map P →7 PA. We prove a global analytic bundle with closed totally geodesic fibers and a unique analytic nearest-controller section. More importantly, a general strongly-convex fiber theorem and its explicit action residual yield a solver that converges globally and linearly from every feasible initializer, with nonasymptotic value, controller-distance, and residual bounds and observable posterior stopping certificates. The solver remains globally convergent conditional on supplied rigorous residual-error and radius majorants. Its dense spectral kernel is restricted to an active subspace of dimension r ≤ 2m, giving an explicit spectral-arithmetic operation bound after one-time input reduction. For nested shape-normalized quadratic actions, canonical multi-secant projections obey an exact CAT(0) Pythagorean decrease and recover the determinant-one inverse Hessian shape at the sharp rank threshold d − 1; this conclusion requires a known scalar gauge. Together these results turn the action bundle from a geometric characterization into an exact iteration with posterior certificates and a finite-identification theory.  \n1 Introduction  \nAdaptive optimizers use hidden positive operators—moments, curvature surrogates, Kronecker factors, or tensor preconditioners—to turn visible gradients into motion (Duchi et al., 2011; Kingma & Ba, 2015; Martens & Grosse, 2015; Gupta et al., 2018; Morwani et al., 2024; Jordan, 2024; Essential AI et al., 2025; Crawshawet al., 2025) . Writing ˙θ = − gradgt f does not select which hidden metric should represent an observed action when many metrics realize it. We study that ambiguity as a variational reduction problem.  \nFor hidden state x, visible action y = π (x), and deformation energy E, the infimal pushforward  \n(π! E)(y) = inf E (x)  \nπ (x)=y  \neliminates hidden realizations and composes across nested maps. Convex-fiber regularity selects a canonical lift; smooth nondegeneracy gives  \nDσ⋆ = −E1σEσy , D2 (π! E) = Eyy − Eyσ E1σEσy .  \nWhen mechanism amplitudes enter affinely before reduction, the corresponding interaction curvature is  \nD2uu (π! E) = −G∗ H −1G ⪯ 0 ,  \nand its mixed entries integrate to finite contrasts for the specified mechanism protocol.  \nOur main realization is the determinant-one SPD action map  \nπA (P ) = PA.  \nFor full-column-rank A, every admissible fiber has a global analytic parameterization by a smaller determinantone SPD factor and is closed and totally geodesic under AIRM. Projection of the identity therefore gives a unique analytic canonical controller. A general strongly-convex fiber engine connects this selection to computation, while the action bundle makes its logarithmic residual explicit. A sublevel first-return argument yields the sharp radius majorant L0 = ψ (D0 / √2) , nonasymptotic iteration bounds obtained by exact inversion of the linear rate, and posterior controller and objective certificates. Relative matrix-function error remains globally convergent when a numerical routine supplies rigorous error and radius majorants.  \nThe solver has an exact active realization on s","cbCaik34OxIUSgCX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik34OxIUSgCX","pdf",482202,3,1,25,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Related Work\n# Reduction and Interaction\n## Action Geometry and Solver\n## Finite Recovery","[{\"question\":\"What hidden information do adaptive optimizers introduce, and why does it matter?\",\"answer\":\"Adaptive optimizers introduce hidden positive operators (e.g., moments, curvature surrogates, Kronecker factors) that determine how visible gradients become parameter motion.
