The paper provides an exact spectral mechanism for non-Hermitian matrices with transposition symmetry: after factoring out a Vandermonde term, the joint eigenvalue density is a Calogero-model scattering wavefunction with inverse-square interactions. This differs from a conventional Coulomb-gas model and predicts non-Gaussian, power-law spectral correlations and spacing tails. A transferable neural-network construction is to regularize the spectrum of recurrent, state-space, or neural-ODE Jacobians with a Calogero-inspired inverse-square spectral barrier while separately enforcing a contraction boundary. The experiment should test eigenvalue-collision statistics and long-horizon stability at a predicted spectral-radius boundary, rather than merely reporting a benchmark improvement.

Apply an inverse-square Calogero barrier to the eigenvalues of a recurrent or state-space transition Jacobian, discouraging unstable eigenvalues and pathological eigenvalue collisions without forcing the matrix to be Hermitian. The paper's non-Hermitian scattering picture motivates treating the spectrum as correlated rather than assuming an ordinary pairwise Coulomb gas; the inverse-square term is used as a local, computable surrogate for that mechanism.
