arXiv:2604.17213v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inductive bias refers to restrictions on the hypothesis class that enable a learning method to generalize effectively from limited data. A canonical example in control is linearity, which underpins low sample-complexity guarantees for stabilization and optimal control. For general nonlinear dynamics, by contrast, guarantees often rely on smoothness assumptions (e.g., Lipschitz continuity) which, when combined with covering arguments, can lead to data requirements that grow exponentially with the ambient dimension. In this paper we argue that data-efficient nonlinear control demands exploiting inductive bias embedded in nature itself, namely, structure imposed by physical laws. Focusing on Hamiltonian systems, we leverage symplectic geometry and intrinsic recurrence on energy level sets to solve target reachability problems. Our approach combines the recurrence property with a recently proposed class of policies, called chain policies, which composes locally certified trajectory segments extracted from demonstrations to achieve target reachability. We provide sufficient conditions for reachability under this construction and show that the resulting data requirements depend on explicit geometric and recurrence properties of the Hamiltonian rather than the state dimension.
