To analyze hidden redundancies beyond these standard symmetries, we introduce a framework based on weighted polyhedral complexes. Our main result shows that for every architecture whose input and hidden layers have width at least two, there exists an open set of identifiable parameters. This implies that the functional dimension of every such architecture is exactly the number of parameters minus the number
