Replace a single shared quadratic stability constraint in a routed state-space model with a path-complete family of quadratic certificates indexed by a small graph. During architecture search or training, identify bottleneck certificate nodes whose transition inequalities are nearly tight, split only those nodes, and re-solve the certificate problem. This should permit larger per-mode state transitions than a common Lyapunov matrix while retaining bounded hidden-state dynamics for arbitrary…
Use the paper's inverse-temperature parameter to initialize networks containing m parallel depth-N branches. Choose branch count, depth, or an explicit aggregation scale so that beta = sqrt(2(N-1)/(n log m)) stays below the critical value sqrt(2), preventing the largest random branch from dominating the aggregate. This is applicable to residual multi-branch MLPs and other architectures whose block Jacobian is a sum of products.
Replace a large graph submodule by a compact boundary response operator that maps boundary node features to induced boundary fluxes after the interior has been eliminated. Stack these operators recursively to obtain a hierarchical graph neural network whose coarse-level computation preserves long-range effects of discarded vertices more faithfully than average pooling or simple node clustering.
Replace a flat MoE or graph-pooling assignment with recursive partitions selected by interaction evidence after removing each item’s expected degree effect. Tokens, nodes, or examples that are frequently active for purely popularity-related reasons should not automatically form an expert or cluster. Recursion stops when a candidate split has nonpositive degree-corrected evidence, producing an adaptive hierarchy rather than a fixed number of equally sized groups.
Replace dense attention between grid-arranged tokens by a deterministic block-sparse pattern generated from modular permutations. In each block, connect row token i to column token p(i)=2i modulo B; because i, i-p(i), and i+p(i) are injective modulo B when gcd(B,6)=1, the pattern avoids repeated horizontal, vertical, and diagonal projections. Use shifted permutations across heads to increase receptive-field coverage while retaining structured sparsity.
