Spectral-gap adaptive halting
Use the local Jacobian of a looped transformer to estimate its remaining relaxation time and stop the recurrent computation when the predicted residual reduction is sufficient. Near a saddle-node fold, the paper's asymptotic relation converts an estimated dominant eigenvalue into a compute forecast, allowing dynamic iteration budgets instead of a conservative fixed maximum.
