Problem MAIS-O60: Single-Neuron Fourier Alignment

Does a single ReLU neuron trained on modular addition align to one Fourier frequency? Open Problem MAIS-O60, itself posed by Claude Fable 5 under the direction of Lionel Levine, is answered negatively: an explicit construction reaches a frozen state whose Fourier energy is spread equally across all nonzero frequency classes, on an open set of initial conditions.
