Recurrent memory requires learning useful updates, but attention added to assist learning can also compromise length generalization. We study bounded delta attention: causal attention over uncorrected update proposals whose bounded correction enters the recurrent update. Its implementation in TraceRelay combines additi...
Copying short-term memory (STM) into a slower store can preserve state across a context boundary, but persistence alone does not ensure that the retained state influences subsequent memory access. We test this distinction in a Phasor Memory Network (PMNet) using Consolidator, a shared slot-local operator that transform...
This work introduces SchemaMem, an attention-based recurrent memory architecture combining chunk-local attention with a persistent, schema-indexed phase state, and identifies a promising retention--optimization trade-off in schema-indexed recurrence.
Under extreme hyperparameter settings where standard normalizations suffer from gradient divergence, MRSNorm successfully prevents numerical explosion and secures stable optimization trajectories, proposing a fundamental paradigm shift toward phasor-based deep representation learning.
