Use the signed-base expansion as a compact discrete-continuous latent parameterization for a VAE or autoencoder. A short binary sequence produces exponentially refined coordinates, while a learned Markov prior captures correlations between successive latent bits. The decoder receives the resulting bounded real coordinates instead of an unconstrained Gaussian latent vector.
Paper: Fractal random variables defined by probability distributions of digits of their $G_2$-representation having two bases with different signsarXiv:2607.29327
Use local split-fusion rewrites as a structured alternative to globally recomputing token clusters. A model proposes a small number of neighboring tree edits per input, accepts only valid edits that reduce a learned energy, and retains the previous hierarchy across layers or decoding steps.
Use the one-edit Hamiltonian walk as an explicit state machine for counters in autoregressive models or world models. Instead of regenerating and re-embedding an entire numeric string after every increment, update only the digit that changes, or append the single leading digit at a block transition.
Add a bounded phase variable and a bank of local affine transport maps to an RNN or state-space model. The phase follows an irrational rotation, while the hidden state is transported through cells whose widths determine local gains, giving a controllable memory mechanism with analytically known distortion rather than an unconstrained recurrent Jacobian.
Replace a learned recurrent transition with a sparse binary reservoir compiled from prime-count gates. Three permanently active control vertices implement copy and XNOR transitions, allowing the signal state to realize an affine feedback register over \(\mathbb F_2\) with period \(2^m-1\) using only \(O(m)\) edges and bounded in-degree. Train only an input projection and readout, or use straight-through estimators if end-to-end adaptation is required.
Replace a binary neural connectivity mask by independent Bernoulli edge probabilities and optimize a deterministic expected message-passing objective before discretization. The resulting module can search sparse GNN edges or expert-to-token routes without repeatedly sampling many discrete architectures during training.
Build an implicit layer from a piecewise-linear maximal monotone operator on visible variables z_* and auxiliary variables z_**, then eliminate the auxiliary block rather than exposing it in the network output. Compute the layer through a fixed point of the eliminated component of a nonexpansive resolvent, with damping when the auxiliary map is not strictly contractive.
Replace step-by-step hidden-state storage in a latent ODE, state-space model, or world model with a polynomial trajectory represented independently on short time blocks. At the end of each block, pass the next hidden state by summing temporal coefficients, allowing training and inference to discard the completed block while retaining a mathematically exact block interface.
Replace a dense token or channel mixing matrix by a fixed sparse directed graph whose states are ordered pairs of symbols and whose transitions advance through a cyclic phase. Each state has exactly two allowed successors, obtained by appending a symbol different from the previous two, producing a strongly connected, vertex-transitive sparse mixer with shared local dynamics. The prescribed phase structure prevents arbitrary short-cycle routing and can act as an anti-collapse inductive bias in…
Use the paper's skew product as a parameter-free recurrent state: one phase rotates by an irrational increment and a second state accumulates a lacunary Fourier readout of that phase. This supplies deterministic long-range memory with only scalar updates, avoiding a learned recurrent transition matrix and its potentially unstable spectrum.
Represent a population of N circular latent states using a three-parameter Möbius transformation applied to fixed uniform reference phases, rather than learning N unrelated angles. The resulting states remain on the circle by construction and can model concentrated or nearly uniform phase populations through a single concentration parameter.
Replace an unconstrained linear residual adapter by an operator \(T\) satisfying a polynomial relation in the commutator operator \(\Delta_A(X)=AX-XA\). Choose the polynomial roots in a stable half-plane so that repeated commutators become nilpotent, making repeated adapter application terminate algebraically and permitting a finite-polynomial inverse of \(I+T\).
