Replace an unconstrained latent transition by a layer with a distinguished scalar coordinate \(t\) and a symplectic leaf state \(x=(q,p)\). The layer advances \(t\) through a Reeb drift while updating \(x\) with a symplectic Hamiltonian step, preventing arbitrary mixing between progression and content coordinates and potentially improving long-horizon stability.
Extract a small set of stable exponential modes from an observed neural sequence and use them to initialize a diagonal or block-diagonal state-space model. Hankel-pencil eigenvalues propose the modes, while persistence across shifts and contour margins reject modes caused by noise or a short-lived background.
Use the paper's third-order phase-locked-loop equations as a recurrent neuron instead of a leaky integrate-and-fire unit. Emit a spike whenever the phase crosses a chosen threshold, allowing one state trajectory to represent both slow burst envelopes and fast within-burst oscillations.
Replace a free-form order-dependent gate with a positive mixture of Mellin powers $(1+s)^{-a}$. This gives a small, interpretable module whose response across the order variable is automatically generated by a positive measure and therefore inherits complete monotonicity, log-convexity, and Hankel-moment structure.
Add a two-sided cone-restricted spectral penalty to a recurrent or state-space model. Instead of estimating growth using a symmetric singular-value surrogate, jointly optimize a positive right vector and positive left vector in the extended quotient from the paper, targeting a real generalized eigenvalue of the learned non-selfadjoint transition operator.
Replace pointwise spectral normalization of an RNN transition with a stability constraint on the entire family of input-conditioned matrices. Use a learned positive-definite metric P so every transition contracts in the same state geometry, approximating the paper's uniform exponential stability and input-forgetting guarantee.
Choose the retained context length by balancing the statistical complexity of adding lag j against the squared prediction bias from discarding it. Unlike a fixed context window, the rule uses both the remaining-horizon spectrum and the estimated tail energy, allowing a model to expand or shrink its memory online.
Replace a standard nonlinear recurrent transition with a truncated Carleman lift containing levels $z_j\approx u^{\otimes j}$, coupled by linear maps that represent quadratic, linear, and forcing terms. The resulting transition is linear in the lifted state but still expresses nonlinear dynamics in the original state, while the highest-order omitted interaction supplies an explicit truncation-defect signal that can be used for adaptive order selection or regularization.
Insert a weighted negative-semidefinite fourth-order mixing operator into a residual or state-space layer. Instead of learning an unconstrained token-mixing matrix, parameterize its dissipative component as Q = -a W^{-1} B^T W B, ensuring that this component cannot increase the chosen weighted feature energy. Use a boundary-aware finite-difference matrix B along the sequence axis, optionally with learnable banded coefficients while preserving the factorization.
Treat a recurrent or state-space layer as a finite-state Markov cocycle and constrain optimizer steps using the paper's inverse-logarithmic sensitivity of Lyapunov exponents near a zero exponent gap. Instead of enforcing a crude spectral-norm bound, allow updates that are harmless for long-run growth while shrinking steps that could substantially change the recurrent stability profile.
