Geometric Limits of Knowledge Distillation: A Minimum-Width Theorem via Superposition Theory

Knowledge distillation has hard geometric limits — superposition theory proves there's a minimum width threshold below which student networks simply cannot absorb knowledge from teacher models, regardless of training.
