Conservative Chapman–Enskog Neural Layer

Replace an unconstrained recurrent hidden-state update by a fast redistribution state with a dissipative Jacobian and a slow conserved state. The network computes an equilibrium state and a first-order pseudoinverse response correction, transferring the paper’s separation between local relaxation and macroscopic transport into a stable recurrent or state-space layer.

Periodic-Delay Bifurcation Monitor

Build a delayed recurrent layer whose state update contains explicit taps at lags k tau, and monitor whether its linearized dynamics support periodic or antiperiodic modes over a window of length m tau. Use the smallest singular value of the corresponding periodic-boundary residual as a bifurcation margin: values near zero indicate that a new oscillatory memory mode is being created or destroyed. The margin can be used either as a diagnostic or as a regularizer that keeps training away from…
