contents We introduce a method for detecting regularity loss in solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations using the approximation error of Sinusoidal Representation Networks (SIRENs). SIRENs use sin() activations, producing C-infinity outputs that cannot represent non-smooth features. By classical spectral approximation theory, the SIREN error is bounded by O(N^{-s}) where s is the local Sobolev regularity. At a singularity (s to 0), the error is O(1) and localizes via the Gibbs phenomenon. We decompose the velocity field into a cheap analytical baseline (advection-diffusion) and a learned residual (pressure correction), training a compact SIREN (4,867 parameters). We validate on the 3D Taylor-Green vortex, where error concentration increases from 4.9x to 13.6x as viscosity decreases from 0.01 to 0.0001, localizing to the stagnation point -- the geometry matching the singularity proven by Chen and Hou (2025) for 3D Euler. On axisymmetric equations, we reproduce blowup signatures (T* converging across resolutions) and identify a critical viscosity nu_c = 0.00582 for the regularization transition.
