The sphere-harmonic band-pass matched filter trained on a cosmology-like domain (uniformly-random feature locations, steep background spectrum) classifies a climate-like domain (high-latitude features, smoother background plus cosine-of-latitude baseline) at 1.000 accuracy without retraining. The equivalent lat-lon flat matched filter trained identically drops from 1.000 in-domain on the cosmology-like domain to 0.845 on the cross-domain transfer to the climate-like domain because the equator-shape template under-responds to polar-stretched features in lat-lon space. Both pipelines reach 1.000 / 0.995 in-domain on the climate-like domain when trained directly on it, so the test is fair — the asymmetry shows up only in the cross-discipline transfer column. This is the operational claim that investments in sphere-aware models from one discipline (astrophysics / cosmology, where the HEALPix ML stack is most mature — DeepSphere, foscat, healpy) carry over to other disciplines (climate, biodiversity, Earth observation) on the shared HEALPix substrate without retraining. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasConfidenceLevel https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/HighConfidence https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasEvidenceDescription Numerical results from notebook 06 — sphere-aware {A→A in-domain 0.990; A→B transfer 1.000; B→B upper-bound 1.000} versus lat-lon-flat {A→A in-domain 1.000; A→B transfer 0.845; B→B upper-bound 0.995}. 200 training samples + 100 test samples per class per domain. Identical (max, mean, std) features and identical logistic-regression classifier heads on both pipelines. Reproducible end-to-end via the repository's environment.yml + Snakefile.

(ii) The substrate effect is isolated from the model class via the minimal (max, mean, std) feature triple; richer learned representations would deliver substantially different absolute accuracy numbers but the substrate-dependence is the geometric mechanism the experiment captures. (iii) The latitude restriction in the climate-like domain is the regime where lat-lon projection distortion bites hardest; the cross-discipline transfer test would yield different numbers for differently-distributed feature regimes. (iv) Two domains tested; the transfer-between-pairs claim generalises naturally to N-way transfer but was not separately tested with three or more domains. https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasOutcomeRepository https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20082933 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/hasValidationStatus https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/Validated https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/isOutcomeOf https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RA9MwZOzZVZeWrHRR-aEnZll1rGP_WK-CQYEOPgEHmzHU/spherical-ml-cross-discipline-transfer-study-2026 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/provenance https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/pubinfo https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name Anne Fouilloux https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2026-05-08T10:54:41.997Z https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://purl.org/nanopub/x/introduces https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sphere-a-to-b https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://purl.org/nanopub/x/wasCreatedAt https://platform.sciencelive4all.org https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Sphere matched filter transfers A→B at 1.000 without retraining; flat drops from 1.000 to 0.845 on the same transfer https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs https://w3id.org/np/o/ntemplate/wasCreatedFromTemplate https://w3id.org/np/RA2zljn0Nw9SadppOyxZoh-_Rxosslrq-vYG-p9SttnJE https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasAlgorithm RSA https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasPublicKey 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 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignature 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 https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignatureTarget https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RAvIzcWGL89mxdBXTTjgRRd0QJBBAdu7wUqkdHRCssSqs/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/signedBy https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1784-2920
