ArXi:2512.09295v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Consider the additive Gaussian model $Y = X + \sigma Z$, where $X \sim P$ is an unknown signal, $Z \sim N(0,1)$ is independent of $X$, and $\sigma > 0$ is known. Let $Q$ denote the law of $Y$. We construct a hierarchy of denoisers $T_0, T_1, \ldots, T_\infty \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that depend only on higher-order score functions $q^{(m)}/q$, $m \geq 1$, of $Q$ and require no knowledge of the law $P
