Damped Spherical Momentum

Replace unconstrained momentum updates for selected neural-network parameter blocks by damped second-order motion on a unit sphere. The update learns directions while preserving the block norm exactly, and includes the centripetal term required for a valid acceleration constrained to the sphere rather than merely projecting gradients after an unconstrained step.

Swarmalator Token Organizer

Augment each token or graph node with a periodic latent position x_i and phase θ_i, then evolve these variables before attention or message passing. Tokens with similar phase attract in x, while tokens with similar position synchronize in θ, producing self-organized groups without an externally specified clustering objective. The coupling strengths J and K provide interpretable controls for aggregation and synchronization, and their sweep should expose the paper's four collective regimes and…
