Correlated Long-Range Residual Mixer

Replace an iid local or randomly sparse residual mixer with a distance-decaying long-range operator whose edge magnitudes are correlated through a shared latent Gaussian field. The paper predicts that these correlations qualitatively change low-energy spectral scaling and increase multiscale information propagation relative to iid long-range weights. Apply the operator as a spectrally normalized residual block so that the benefit comes from correlated scale coverage rather than uncontrolled…

Critical power-law sparse attention

Replace dense self-attention by a sparse mask on a one-dimensional or ordered token geometry, retaining local neighbors and adding long-range edges with probability proportional to distance raised to \(-(1+\sigma)\). Use \(\sigma\approx0.8\text{--}0.85\) as the initial regime because the paper finds that this range supports delocalized, GOE-like connectivity despite sparse bonds. The resulting layer has linear or near-linear attention cost while maintaining long-range paths.
