Replace a dense channel-mixing matrix in a sequence layer with alternating diagonal propagation and sparse unipotent Stokes jumps. The diagonal part carries independently controlled exponential phases, while the unipotent factors implement cheap residual-like mode conversion without changing determinant or requiring a dense matrix multiply. Constrain the phase magnitudes and jump coefficients during training to obtain a reversible, norm-monitorable mixer.

Add a small number of latent region-offset variables to a graph or token-mixing layer, interpreting selected edges as low-permeability barriers that suppress cross-region information flow. Eliminate the latent variables analytically, yielding a visible-node update with a structured low-rank correction rather than adding persistent hidden node states. The module is intended to preserve within-cluster propagation while preventing oversmoothing or contamination across learned boundaries.

Replace a softmax transition or mixture-of-experts router by probabilities obtained from squared amplitudes of an isometric latent transition. Each input state is mapped to an orthogonal latent subspace, and summing probability over the latent index produces the desired expert or next-state distribution. The latent amplitudes can retain information that would be destroyed by directly averaging expert outputs, while normalization is guaranteed by construction.

Build a parameter-free spectral channel mixer whose channels are arranged as components of an l-form and whose multiplier is the trace-free Beurling--Ahlfors transform. At every nonzero spatial frequency it mixes the exact and coexact channel subspaces with opposite signs, preventing a uniform channel-direction bias and preserving a structured cancellation property. Insert it as a residual branch before a convolution, MLP, or attention block, with one learned scalar gate controlling its…

Attach each token or graph node a discrete grade a in a finite group A, and modify attention value composition with a normalized group 2-cocycle rather than independent pairwise gates. The cocycle provides a globally consistent projective interaction rule, so composing three messages gives the same result under either parenthesization. This may improve relational reasoning while reducing the number of freely learned interaction parameters.

Replace or augment an exponential state-space memory branch with a causal convolution whose lag-j weight is exp(-lambda j) ell(j)/j. The 1/j boundary provides broad logarithmic memory, while lambda supplies an explicit finite memory scale and prevents uncontrolled accumulation from an untempered long-memory kernel.

Insert a Walsh-Hadamard transform before a quantized categorical or activation bottleneck and assign coordinate-dependent quantization precision using the attenuation spectrum of a quaternary symmetric noise model. Coordinates corresponding to tensor-product frequencies with many nonzero indices are attenuated by higher powers of \(\delta\), so their quantization can be made coarser with little effect on the reconstructed post-noise representation. This creates a structured, fast transform…

Replace a large flat positional-embedding table with a recursively decoded nine-way address whose child transformations contract coordinates by exactly 1/3. Encode an input position using features attached to the address prefix at several depths, guaranteeing that increasing depth produces a geometrically localized representation and that an infinite valid address cannot ambiguously represent two distinct points. This is especially suitable for 2D vision tokens, maps, point clouds, or…

Replace a dense third-order channel-interaction tensor by a fixed sparse support selected through the paper's uniform-marginal infeasibility certificate. Supports with a large dual margin have an effective entropy base below the channel alphabet size, suggesting fewer independent interaction slices and cheaper contractions. Use the certificate either during architecture search or as a pruning score for an already-trained tensorized layer.

Build a neural feature-mixing layer from a truncated shift S and a diagonal phase operator T satisfying TS=qST, with |q|=1. The relation forces moving one position in the graded feature basis to multiply the phase operator by q, providing a compact inductive bias for periodic, phase-sensitive, or cyclic data.

Add a low-dimensional spectral regularizer to an encoder or transformer representation by estimating the first N nonconstant modes of its Gaussian-weighted diffusion operator. Penalize excessive reciprocal spectral mass and unequal low-frequency eigenvalues, using a Gaussian-ball reference calibrated to the representation's effective mass; this discourages latent directions from becoming weak, collapsed, or strongly anisotropic.

Add an integer-lattice feasibility layer after ordinary top-1 or top-2 MoE routing. The router first produces its usual expert assignments, then minimally changes a small number of low-confidence assignments so the batch count vector lies in a prescribed lattice or desired coset, eliminating persistent modular load imbalance that ordinary auxiliary losses may not detect.

Replace raw hyperbolic embedding-radius regularization with a dimension-aware effective-radius target. For embeddings concentrated near hyperbolic radius rho in an n-dimensional hyperbolic space, regulate s times log(sinh(rho) / sqrt(n)) rather than rho itself, and use the same quantity to calibrate distance-logit temperature. This should make hyperbolic metric-learning behavior more invariant when embedding dimension, curvature, or model scale changes.

Regularize the Gram spectrum of selected neural layers so that its low-order moments match the spectral moments generated by a truncated q-boson Jacobi operator. Unlike a simple Frobenius or spectral-norm penalty, this controls several parts of the singular-value distribution simultaneously and can discourage harmful spectral tails without forcing all singular values to be equal.

Represent each token or graph node by an anti-Hermitian matrix latent state and replace a standard residual transformation with a discretized Lie-algebra vortex flow. The commutator nonlinearities are equivariant under global unitary conjugation, so the block can learn interactions without selecting a basis and preserves the anti-Hermitian state space when initialized there.

Replace part of dense token mixing with a small bank of structured permutations acting on a hierarchical token tree.
