"Harmonic Loss Trains Interpretable AI Models" (2025) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42941954 :

Harmonic loss enables improved interpretability and faster convergence, owing to its scale invariance and finite convergence point by design,

Would harmonic loss train a more explainable model for e.g. CircuitTracer to trace?
