Replace an unconstrained deep RoPE attention residual update by a spherical or norm-preserving update whose attention kernel has a known positive floor. Estimate the reversible transverse spectrum of the current attention matrix and choose the residual step size below its explicit Euler stability limit; use the angular token diameter as a runtime contraction monitor.
Construct a cheap graph or token-mixing operator by partitioning nodes into k blocks using the bottom nonconstant eigenvectors of P squared, then replacing dense pairwise mixing with conditional averaging inside each block followed by one baseline propagation step. Unlike ordinary spectral clustering, the bottom modes target partitions where block labels are rapidly destroyed by P, producing an aggressively mixing representation layer rather than a community-preserving pooling layer. The…
Add a weighted reflection symmetry to an attention or graph-propagation matrix instead of requiring ordinary permutation equivariance. For paired positions or graph nodes related by an involution, penalize the failure of the propagation operator to commute with the weighted reflection; this makes all geometric multi-step propagations symmetry-compatible. The method is suitable for data with mirror, reversal, paired-agent, or left/right structure where the two sides have unequal importance…
Replace full agent-to-agent state transmission with coefficients in a learned dominant Koopman mode basis. Agents communicate only the leading spectral coordinates that explain slowly decaying collective behavior, while retaining a certificate based on the spectral gap and subdominant eigenvalue to decide whether the compressed representation is safe.
Replace dense attention between tokens on opposite sides of a one-dimensional boundary or segment split with a dyadic low-rank approximation of a Cauchy/Hankel distance kernel. Each distance-scale block uses O(log(1/\varepsilon)) features, and the number of active scales grows only logarithmically with context length after discarding a narrow boundary layer. This is especially suitable for a relative-position attention branch or state-space-like long-range branch, rather than arbitrary…
Penalize short positive feedback cycles in an iterative neural module by suppressing products of absolute Jacobian blocks around the cycle. This targets the mechanism responsible for exponential temperature sensitivity rather than merely penalizing the total Jacobian norm, allowing strong feed-forward paths while controlling recurrent amplification.
Represent a large positive semidefinite neural operator as the sum of two Kronecker products and regularize an efficiently computed upper bound on its largest eigenvalues. The bound controls not only the spectral norm but every top-k eigenvalue sum, allowing a tunable penalty on concentrated or unstable directions without constructing the exponentially larger operator.
