Think Shallow, Solve Deep: Controlling Recurrent Dynamics for Reliable Test-Time Depth
This work gives a sufficient condition for depth-safety: once an operator's per-step displacement is small relative to the decoder margin, the decoded answer cannot change under further iterations, and gives four operational criteria for useful test-time depth.
