Aggregate measurements generally leave an evolving population law underdetermined, so different measurement systems can be equally adequate for a scientific task while constraining different aspects of the law. We study how to resolve this residual design freedom in baseline-preserving settings, where an existing dynamical model remains the working baseline outside quantities explicitly valued by the task. \textbf{F}iber-\textbf{I}nformed \textbf{D}ifferentiable \textbf{E}xperimental Design (\textbf{FIDE}) completes each candidate's aggregate constraints by information projection relative to a common frozen reference, then ranks scientifically adequate designs by the dynamical revision required to realize the resulting completed paths. The resulting \emph{Full action} is the minimum mean-squared velocity correction needed to realize a completed path; equivalently, its square root is the sharp reference-relative expectation-rate discrepancy over a gradient-normalized Sobolev class. This defines a conditional minimum-revision principle for baseline-preserving design rather than a generic truth-recovery objective. Experiments show that this preference changes sensor selection, can help or harm withheld downstream predictions depending on baseline reliability, can be used prospectively from aggregate predictions, and remains computationally usable for a $32$-dimensional configuration law.

Solving large-scale multiparametric quadratic programs (mpQPs) in real time often requires thousands of iterative optimization updates, creating a major computational bottleneck in model predictive control and learning-enabled systems. This paper proposes TQPNet, a self-supervised neural compression framework that learns to compress long ADMM optimization trajectories into a compact neural warm start followed by a few refinement iterations. We derive a low-dimensional ADMM scheme operating on the primal-dual variables $(x,β)$ and show that its iteration admits an equivalent ReLU-layer representation, termed ADMM(ReLU). Building on this insight, TQPNet combines a multilayer perceptron with ReLU activations (MLP(ReLU)) and a small number of unrolled ADMM(ReLU) refinement layers. The network is trained offline using an optimality-condition-informed residual loss, eliminating the need for solver-generated labels. The proposed residual-based framework enables both self-supervised training and online solution certification through adaptive ADMM(ReLU) refinement. Experiments on large-scale mpQPs and real-time MPC applications demonstrate that TQPNet achieves high accuracy, strong generalization, and substantially faster inference than conventional optimization-based methods.
