Replace step-by-step hidden-state storage in a latent ODE, state-space model, or world model with a polynomial trajectory represented independently on short time blocks. At the end of each block, pass the next hidden state by summing temporal coefficients, allowing training and inference to discard the completed block while retaining a mathematically exact block interface.
Replace a dense token or channel mixing matrix by a fixed sparse directed graph whose states are ordered pairs of symbols and whose transitions advance through a cyclic phase. Each state has exactly two allowed successors, obtained by appending a symbol different from the previous two, producing a strongly connected, vertex-transitive sparse mixer with shared local dynamics. The prescribed phase structure prevents arbitrary short-cycle routing and can act as an anti-collapse inductive bias in…
Use the paper's skew product as a parameter-free recurrent state: one phase rotates by an irrational increment and a second state accumulates a lacunary Fourier readout of that phase. This supplies deterministic long-range memory with only scalar updates, avoiding a learned recurrent transition matrix and its potentially unstable spectrum.
Insert a fixed or lightly gated lower-triangular binomial-transform layer into a sequence model to create global interactions across positions without forming attention logits. For a sequence of length N, mix each output position with all earlier positions using coefficients determined by an integer m; initialize the layer fixed and optionally learn a diagonal channel gate or a small mixture over m values.
