Attention variants, state-space and recurrent cells, normalization and token-mixing schemes — each tested against the standard block it replaces.
Use the paper's dimension-dependent exponent transformation to fuse nonnegative outputs from several branches. Instead of selecting an arbitrary generalized-mean exponent, choose the output exponent q=Q_d(p) induced by an input exponent p, making the fusion rule explicitly sensitive to the dimension of the barycentric variables.
Replace an unconstrained linear residual adapter by an operator \(T\) satisfying a polynomial relation in the commutator operator \(\Delta_A(X)=AX-XA\). Choose the polynomial roots in a stable half-plane so that repeated commutators become nilpotent, making repeated adapter application terminate algebraically and permitting a finite-polynomial inverse of \(I+T\).
Tie neural parameters across feature channels according to the Schur multiplicity pattern of the fermionic coinvariant representation. In the two-fermion case, use one learned parameter block for each Schur degree instead of independently parameterizing every ordered pair of fermionic channels, eliminating redundant copies while preserving the relevant GL2 channel symmetry.
Replace a monomial polynomial feature block by a fixed Narayana basis transformation. If the input polynomial has nonnegative coefficients and only real roots, the transformed polynomial is guaranteed to have only real roots as well, giving a certified stability-preserving coordinate change for polynomial neural networks.
Represent the active experts or channels of a sparse layer by a presence set and impose a reaction-style dependency graph on possible support changes. During a growth phase, activate only the least support set closed under enabled dependencies; during later pruning, allow trajectory-dependent removals but never add structurally unreachable experts. This should reduce routing churn and dead experts while preserving adaptive sparsity.
Insert a fixed polynomial mixer before an MLP or retrieval index for tuples of discrete features. The mixer maps n+2 bounded scalar feature codes to one or several expanded scalar codes, and the paper's theorem guarantees that its image cannot collapse below order |A|^n when all coordinates come from a finite alphabet A. Use multiple independent permutations or coefficient choices to obtain a vector representation while retaining the deterministic algebraic structure.
