Replace a single recurrent state update with fast feature relaxation, activity evolution, and a slow adaptive state that modulates the activity vector field. Tune the activity subsystem near a controllable saddle-node so that it retains a useful transient regime for a predictable number of steps, enabling delayed switching and long-horizon memory without requiring a large hidden state.
Replace a deep feed-forward block by the fixed point z=phi(Wz+Vx+b), with the recurrent weight W constrained so that the fixed point is unique for every input. The same condition makes forward fixed-point iteration stable and makes implicit differentiation well-conditioned, allowing depth-independent memory usage while providing a measurable spectral failure boundary.
Compress each hidden layer by retaining directions that are simultaneously reachable from the observed input distribution and observable at the network output. Unlike PCA or SVD, the retained subspace is weighted by downstream task sensitivity, so high-variance but output-irrelevant directions can be removed while low-variance predictive directions are preserved.
