contents We present a physics-informed framework for system identification based on randomized stable atomic features. Impulse responses are represented as random superpositions of stable atoms, namely damped complex exponentials associated with poles sampled inside a prescribed disk. Identification is then cast as a convex regularized least-squares problem with optional linear, second-order-cone, and KYP constraints. The approach generalizes random Fourier and random Laplace features to the damped, nonstationary regime relevant to engineering systems while retaining modal interpretability and scalable finite-dimensional computation. The main analytic point is an operator-theoretic Disk-Bochner viewpoint: positive measures over stable poles generate positive-definite kernels with a radius-dependent shift defect, while a converse scalar disk moment representation for an arbitrary kernel is characterized by subnormality of the canonical shift. We prove this statement, establish an RKHS-to-l1 embedding, show that sampled poles induce a valid finite atomic gauge, discuss random-feature convergence, and state sparse-recovery guarantees conditionally on the restricted-eigenvalue properties of the realized disk-Vandermonde or input-output design matrix. We also connect the normalized transfer function problem to Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation and LFT set-membership. The framework directly encodes stability margins, modal localization, DC-gain bounds, monotonicity, passivity, relative degree, settling-time targets, and time/frequency-domain error bounds. Numerical comparisons illustrate how physically meaningful priors can compensate for poor excitation and improve constrained impulse-response recovery in an under-informative data setting.
