  • Representational collapse, where embeddings become anisotropic and lose multi-scale structure, can erode downstream performance long before performance metrics react. We propose an online, topology-aware monitor for evolving neural representations that couples Modular Morse Homology Maintenance (MMHM) with a composite Collapse Index (CI). Instead of rebuilding complexes each epoch, we apply sparse edits at a fixed scale and maintain a discrete Morse matching, yielding fast, incremental updates. Across LLM fine-tuning and temporal KGE training, CI provides a low-latency early-warning signal suitable for in-training interventions. Code and experimental scripts will be released publicly
