Represent entities, tokens, or graph nodes by learnable rays subject to orthogonality constraints on prescribed hypergraph contexts. In addition to enforcing orthogonality within each context, penalize distinct vertices that become collinear, because contextual orthogonality alone can permit or force geometric collapse. This creates a structured embedding layer for graph neural networks or context-aware attention.

Generate temporal attention or convolution weights with the Graham–Knuth–Patashnik recurrence instead of learning every lag weight independently. For nonnegative recurrence parameters, the resulting lag sequence is strongly log-concave, so its normalized kernel is naturally unimodal and suppresses high-frequency sign-free oscillations without requiring a separate smoothness penalty. The six parameters can be learned per head, channel group, or layer, giving O(1) learned parameters for an…

Build a sparse neural mixing layer from colored directed strands rather than a dense all-to-all matrix. Feature channels are assigned ordered colors, local trivalent junctions conserve every color, and an edge width is the weighted sum of the colors carried by that edge; a differentiable penalty favors monotone, crossing-free routings that define a canonical leading term. This creates a structured routing prior that can be compared directly against dense attention and unconstrained sparse…

Replace an unconstrained pairwise attention score with an intersection of coordinate-wise threshold or interval compatibility heads. Each head is a supergraph that permits pairs satisfying one constraint, while the final attention edge exists only when every head permits the pair. This provides an interpretable inductive bias for multi-constraint relations and prevents the model from approximating a conjunction using a single unstable nonlinear score.

Add a bank of quadratic features encoding tangent contact with the reciprocal manifold x1 x2 = 1, rather than forcing a generic MLP to discover this interaction from arbitrary monomials. For positive bounded feature pairs, each feature is nonnegative and becomes exactly zero at a selected reciprocal operating point. The module can be used either as an input feature expansion or as a regularizer encouraging learned gates and scales to follow a reciprocal geometry.

Replace an unconstrained bilinear feature interaction with a joint spectral filter that only allows pairs of graph or spherical frequencies satisfying a soft radius constraint. The smooth factor attenuates interactions near and beyond the cutoff instead of making the hard low-pass decision used by ordinary spectral truncation, which should reduce high-frequency aliasing and unstable feature products.

Represent a sparse higher-order attention head by a 3-uniform hypergraph whose hyperedge $(v,x,y)$ allows anchor token $v$ to aggregate a pairwise interaction between tokens $x$ and $y$. During mask construction, greedily reject edges that would create a $4$-cycle in the link graph $L(v)$, so the same pair of source tokens cannot reach an anchor through multiple redundant pairings. This produces a diversity-constrained sparse attention pattern with an explicit, measurable collision bound.

Represent a population of N circular latent states using a three-parameter Möbius transformation applied to fixed uniform reference phases, rather than learning N unrelated angles. The resulting states remain on the circle by construction and can model concentrated or nearly uniform phase populations through a single concentration parameter.

Add a spectral regularizer to a learned graph or sparse attention adjacency that penalizes violation of the paper's energy floor. The regularizer discourages adjacency matrices that retain many edges but collapse into a low-dimensional spectral structure, which may reduce graph-message-passing diversity and worsen oversmoothing.

Add a fixed or weakly learned interface-localized branch to a sequence model. Set the critical mass term to zero and make the transport coefficient change sign across a learnable interface, producing a localized mode that pools information near a detected transition rather than averaging uniformly over the sequence.

Tie neural parameters across feature channels according to the Schur multiplicity pattern of the fermionic coinvariant representation. In the two-fermion case, use one learned parameter block for each Schur degree instead of independently parameterizing every ordered pair of fermionic channels, eliminating redundant copies while preserving the relevant GL2 channel symmetry.

Add a centro-affine Dirichlet penalty to a neural module whose inputs or outputs lie on a sphere, such as normalized embeddings or attention directions. The penalty measures intrinsic variation under an unconditional convex-body metric while projecting out the constant and coordinate-affine modes excluded by the theorem.

Convert an attention or MoE routing affinity matrix into a soft graph and constrain its K_r-density relative to its observed K_s-density. The regularizer penalizes pathological affinity patterns in which moderate s-way coactivation is accompanied by an implausibly low or unstable r-way coactivation.
