Universality-Tuned Long-Range Attention

Replace unrestricted global attention or purely local convolution by a sparse distance-dependent interaction graph on a two-dimensional feature map. The edge probability or attention prior decays as \(r^{-(2+\sigma)}\), and \(\sigma\) becomes an explicit architectural control knob: small \(\sigma\) supplies mean-field-like global mixing, intermediate \(\sigma\) supplies long-range Wilson–Fisher behavior, and \(\sigma>2\) approaches a short-range model. The architecture should be evaluated not…
