Partition a large graph into induced subgraphs and perform most parameter updates using only local subgraphs, interleaving them with inexpensive global updates on a randomly subsampled coarse graph. The coarse correction preserves information about cross-partition dependencies while reducing full-graph message passing and communication cost.
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.
Replace ordinary dropout or soft sparsity penalties on a nonnegative spatial or token activation field with sublinear multiplicative stochastic dynamics. The field receives local diffusion or graph smoothing, while noise amplitude u^gamma vanishes at zero but is relatively strong near zero; this creates an absorbing zero state and may produce exact contiguous inactive regions. The module is suitable for feature maps, graph-node fields, token routing scores, or continuous neural operators.
Constrain a graph or token attention layer to behave like a row-stochastic diffusion with walk dimension \(\beta\), and choose its neighborhood radius from the paper's first-hitting-time tail bound. At propagation time \(t\), interactions with effective distance larger than \(r(t,\varepsilon)\) are removed because their total reachability probability is bounded by a prescribed error budget \(\varepsilon\).
Parameterize a learned 3-state transition operator as a product of at most seven elementary row-stochastic matrices rather than learning its nine entries independently. Each factor performs one convex pull-in of row i toward row j, so every intermediate and final matrix remains row-stochastic and the layer has a sparse, bounded-depth interpretation.
