用物理相变理论解析模型如何学不变特征，揭示正则化路径上的学习机制。

Invariant learning seeks representations that remain predictive across environments, yet the behavior of its objectives along the regularization path is often opaque. We address this objective-behavior gap by viewing representation learning as multimode magnetization and deriving, from concrete invariant-learning objectives, a Landau-type effective free energy whose low-order coefficients form objective signatures and induce distinct regularization phenotypes. Effective quadratic corrections move the phase boundary and enable finite-strength mode elimination; quartic corrections regulate post-onset amplitude and typically leave residual loading at finite strength; higher-order structure governs non-monotone tails, instability, and collapse at large regularization. In a canonical bilinear model, the theory yields closed-form phase boundaries and steady-state loadings, as well as distinct critical strengths for shortcut and stable modes that define a selective-retention window. Controlled experiments confirm the predicted phase boundaries, loadings, and regularization phenotypes. In one- and two-hidden-layer ReLU networks, the same signatures remain predictive of qualitative regularization-path behavior despite depth-dependent shifts in scale. A matrix extension generalizes the framework to coupled collective modes and yields a spectral phase-boundary criterion. Together, the framework turns low-order objective signatures into predictions of regularization phenotypes and, ultimately, of what models learn as regularization varies.
