Replace an unconstrained recurrent transition by a sequence of exact SU(1,1) hyperbolic updates. The layer processes each token with a 2-complex-dimensional state and preserves the indefinite energy |a|^2-|b|^2=1 exactly, preventing numerical drift while retaining non-unitary amplification and attenuation.
Replace dense token-to-token attention by a multiscale spiderweb communication pattern. Tokens first aggregate upward through a dyadic hierarchy, communicate horizontally only with a small number of cells at the appropriate height, and then receive information broadcast downward. Hyperbolic distance supplies a principled rule for choosing the height at which two tokens interact: nearby tokens interact at fine scales, while far-apart tokens interact through coarse representatives.
Replace unconstrained softmax cross-attention with a many-to-many transport matrix whose row and column masses have explicit upper bounds. Compute the attention cost from both feature similarity and pairwise relational disagreement, so a token is attended to only when its relationships to other tokens are jointly compatible. The inequality constraints provide a principled dustbin-free mechanism for ignoring distractor tokens.
Build an implicit or unrolled graph neural operator on a symmetric simplicial mesh, and perform every symmetry-compatible linear solve in a fixed representation-theoretic basis rather than the original edge/face basis. The same basis can be reused for Poisson, Maxwell, diffusion, and learned linear combinations of DEC operators, yielding parallel independent blocks and lower peak memory without changing the discretized solution.
Represent hidden features with several local orthogonal or unitary frames, and let group-valued transition maps align neighboring experts. Instead of forcing every expert to learn a globally coherent coordinate system, train local experts independently and impose a patching constraint that produces a globally consistent feature field. This is especially suitable for graph neural networks on data with heterogeneous local geometries or mixture-of-experts models whose experts specialize by region.
Build a positively homogeneous convex network by representing every intermediate unit as a compact polytope and composing units with Minkowski sums, convex-hull unions, and positive dilations. This gives an explicitly convex and monotone architecture whose geometric complexity can be controlled independently of the number of sampled linear pieces, potentially producing smaller ICNNs for structured convex functions.
Route tokens to experts using Laguerre cells defined by the minimum control energy needed to move a token embedding to each expert prototype, rather than by Euclidean distance or an unconstrained learned router logit. Per-expert dual weights deform the cells so that minibatch routing follows prescribed expert capacities, giving a geometrically interpretable alternative to auxiliary load-balancing losses.
Construct a sparse attention or message-passing graph as a gain graph, where every directed edge carries a relative frame label and reverse edges carry the inverse label. Grow the graph using the paper's 2-extension operation: replace two old edges by a new vertex connected to their four endpoints, while preserving the relative gain products. The resulting mask is intended to preserve global information flow under controlled sparsity and to avoid isolated components and brittle bridges commonly…
Store a convex object as a direction-indexed vertex tuple and implement composition of objects through componentwise Minkowski addition and nonnegative scaling. This creates a structured residual or compositional layer where convexification is nonexpansive, making perturbation amplification controllable and avoiding repeated generic geometric optimization.
