One-Shot Frozen Refinement Layer

Add an asynchronous binary refinement module in which each spatial unit or graph node may change its predicted label once if its current label disagrees with a weighted neighborhood field, after which it is permanently frozen. This prevents recurrent flip-flopping in iterative segmentation or denoising and should preserve large-scale structures while allowing a final interface-localized correction phase.

Polymer-compatible sparse attention

Replace dense token-to-token attention with attention over connected token groups, called polymers, while forbidding nearby polymers from being simultaneously selected. Each candidate group receives an exponentially decaying size and boundary penalty, and the layer sums or samples only compatible collections of groups. The construction should create structured sparsity and prevent redundant overlapping attention regions.
