Replace or augment a deterministic recurrent hidden state with a stochastic Markov transition, then explicitly measure its entropy production and output memory time. Penalize operating points where the target changes faster than the hidden state can track at the available dissipation, while allowing the model to satisfy the bound either by increasing transition activity or by developing a longer-lived memory mode.
Use the observability margin to choose which delay taps to retain under a fixed memory or computation budget. Add a candidate delay only when it substantially increases the smallest singular value of the delay map, converting the paper's large-delay asymptotic result into an adaptive receptive-field construction for sequence models.
Construct a sparse recurrent network with positive edge weights and Leaky-ReLU updates so that one selected hidden node, observed over a finite time window, contains enough information to reconstruct the full hidden state. Add an auxiliary decoder from the observed trajectory to the initial state or current state, and use graph rewiring or edge-growth until every hidden node has a directed path to the sensor within the observation horizon.
Attach a small dynamical observer to a neural ODE, RNN, or state-space model and make it estimate only a task-relevant functional of the hidden state, such as logits, value features, or control-relevant projections. Use an incremental quadratic constraint and a bounded-real penalty to make the observer robust to hidden-state nonlinearities and input disturbances, instead of reconstructing the full latent state.
