arXiv:2604.04328v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Soft Tournament Equilibrium (STE) is a differentiable layer for Top-Cycle (TC) and Uncovered-Set (UC) inference from reciprocal pair probabilities. Normalized log-sum-exp reachability and covering give smooth scores with approximation, perturbation, and margin-recovery bounds. We distinguish structural supervision, posterior uncertainty, and the final set decision through controlled synthetic studies and reconstruction of recorded ordinal profiles. Matched-epoch training improves F1 under a common structural readout, but a separate equal-budg
