ArXi:2605.24340v1 Announce Type: new Production deep learning systems across enterprise domains operate under constraints that academic benchmarks routinely obscure: labeled data is expensive, inference budgets are tight, and models that cannot explain their behavior are difficult to trust and maintain. We present ChainzRule (CR), a neural architecture replacing typical activations with learnable polynomial layers governed by Differential Regularization (DREG), a layer-wise Jacobian penalty computed analytically during the forward pass at standard inference cost.
