Fading-Memory Habituation Gate

Add a per-feature or per-token state that accumulates recent stimulation and decays when stimulation is absent, then use a nonlinear decreasing gain to suppress repeatedly activated features. This creates short-term adaptation without changing the core transformer or recurrent weights: familiar inputs are processed with reduced gain, while novel inputs recover their full response.

Hitting-Time Adaptive Transformer Depth

Use attention-graph hitting times to identify tokens whose information has not mixed through the network, then route only those tokens through additional Transformer blocks. Tokens with fast reachability exit early, while slow or isolated tokens receive more computation.
