Muse: Representation Geometry of Muon Beyond Normalized Momentum

Muon-style optimizers apply a polar map to matrix momentum, but their updates also depend on the representation of each parameter block before orthogonalization. We study this representation choice as a form of optimizer geometry and introduce {\method}, a family of Muon-style optimizers that shares the same momentum rule and Newton--Schulz backend across native, nearest-square, skinny, and vector representations. Each Frobenius-isometric representation induces a distinct polar steepest-descent…
