Build a kernel aggregation layer whose output is a tangent vector field on the unit sphere and whose surface divergence is identically zero by construction. For each source point, use a matrix kernel obtained by applying a surface-rotated gradient in the query variable to a scalar zonal kernel; this is a differential-form version of the paper's matrix-valued construction. The layer can replace attention or message passing when the target dynamics are incompressible, such as spherical fluid…
Replace a dense mixing or attention matrix on tokens arranged on a Cartesian grid by a product of learned or fixed one-dimensional concentration operators. The layer applies one axis operator at a time, reducing parameter and compute cost while enforcing that the global operator is a positive contraction with controlled spectral leakage.
Replace a dense graph-attention or token-mixing matrix by a resolvent-like interaction operator and truncate it to graph neighborhoods whose radius is selected from an estimated spectral gap. Unlike fixed-window sparse attention, the sparsity level is tied to a measurable stability parameter and has an explicit exponential tail criterion.
Add a fixed or weakly parameterized residual mixer whose interaction between sequence positions at distance \(r\) is proportional to \(1/(r\log^2 r)\). Instead of truncating the kernel at a short radius, represent its heavy tail with dyadic distance bands and compute each band using prefix sums or block pooling, giving every token access to arbitrarily distant context at roughly \(O(L\log L)\) cost.
Estimate the temporal spectrum of each sequence channel using a locally private procedure, then apply a regularized inverse-square-root spectral filter before the sequence enters attention or an SSM. The filter removes predictable low-frequency or narrow-band redundancy while avoiding unstable amplification at frequencies where the private estimate is small.
