Use a learned scalar ordering function to turn a symmetric local Gaussian graph kernel into a directed, row-stochastic message-passing operator. The asymmetric tilt lets neighboring nodes communicate preferentially along an inferred dynamical direction, while the Gaussian factor retains locality and diffusion-like smoothing.
Add a per-feature or per-token state that accumulates recent stimulation and decays when stimulation is absent, then use a nonlinear decreasing gain to suppress repeatedly activated features. This creates short-term adaptation without changing the core transformer or recurrent weights: familiar inputs are processed with reduced gain, while novel inputs recover their full response.
Remove a latent relay or hub token from an attention or graph layer and replace its two-hop influence by direct effective edges between retained tokens. The correction is a normalized rank-one update, so it can preserve hub-mediated communication while reducing the number of stored and processed states.
