Log-Hölder Lyapunov Trust Region
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.
