DeltaPhase is a subquadratic architecture that replaces standard quadratic softmax attention ($O(N^2)$) and heavy dense Feed-Forward Networks (
DeltaPhase builds upon five key lines of research:
- Rank-One Delta Rule Memory: Schlag, Irie & Schmidhuber (2021), Linear Transformers Are Secretly Fast Weight Programmers.
-
Parallel Chunkwise WY Matrix Solve (
$T_{\text{mat}}$ ): Yang et al. (2024), Parallelizing Linear Transformers with the Delta Rule over Sequence Length (DeltaNet). -
Data-Dependent Retention

Complex Phasors on
$S^1$ & Holographic Representation: Fourier Holographic Reduced Representations (FHRR, Plate 1995; Noest 1988). - Multi-Substrate Fast Transforms: FastFood (Le, Sarlós & Smola 2013; Yang et al. 2015), FNet (Lee-Thorp et al. 2021), and periodic phase activations (SIREN, Sitzmann et al. 2020).
- Physical Spin Glasses & Synchronization Dynamics: Classical 2D XY Model of planar ferromagnetism (Berezinskii, Kosterlitz & Thouless 1973), Kuramoto oscillator networks (Kuramoto 1975), and continuous-phase Hopfield associative memories (Aihara et al. 1990; Krotov & Hopfield 2016).
While real-valued linear models (DeltaNet / Gated DeltaNet) suffer from real-valued memory crosstalk and slower convergence under dense sequence packing, DeltaPhase extends the parallel chunkwise WY matrix solve to Complex Phase Phasor Spaces (
Under the certified 4-arm capacity-matched MQAR protocol (tests/capacity_matched_mqar_results.log, 5 seeds, 3000 steps, Tesla T4):
-
Convergence Acceleration / Sample Efficiency: DeltaPhase reaches
$>95%$ retrieval accuracy$1.38\times$ to$1.74\times$ faster than real-valued Gated DeltaNet with equalized state capacity ($\mathbb{R}^{45\times 45} = 2025\text{ floats}$ vs$\mathbb{C}^{32\times 32} = 2048\text{ floats}$ ). -
Asymptotic Parity: Given sufficient optimization steps, both architectures achieve
$\approx 99.3% - 99.5%$ accuracy, proving that the complex phase benefit is an optimization accelerator that mitigates representation crosstalk during learning.

Contraction Spectrum
$\beta \in (0, 2)$ : Parameterized via$\beta_t = 2.0 \cdot \text{sigmoid}(W_\beta x_t)$ . While$\beta_t = 2.0$ represents exact Householder reflection isometry ($\det(H) = -1$ ), the continuous range$\beta_t \in (0, 2)$ satisfies the non-expansive contraction condition$|1 - \beta_t| < 1$ , stabilizing recursive gradient flow. -

📊 Ablation empírica honesta (
tests/benchmark_ffn_router_ablation.py, protocolo MQAR certificado$N=16$ , 3 semillas, presupuesto iso-paramétrico ~$4d^2$): la precisión es estadísticamente indistinguible de un MLP gated equivalente (99.05–99.11% vs 99.15–99.26%,$\Delta < 1$ SE), y el MLP corre ~$2\times$ más rápido por paso en esta implementación. El router sí aprende una preferencia de sustrato reproducible (FWHT ≈43% > DCT ≈35% > Haar ≈21%, consistente en todas las semillas). Datos crudos:docs/ffn_router_ablation_results.json.
delta_phase (v1.1.0) includes LogicPhaseCore, an active symbolic phase-space processor:
-
BIND(K, V)/UNBIND(K, M): Hadamard phasor association and conjugate readout ($1.19 \times 10^{-7}$ FP32 machine precision error). -
NOT(Q): Phase shift by$\pi$ radians ($180^\circ$ ) creating exact$-1.0000$ destructive wave cancellation. -
STRICT_AND(r1, r2): Strict boolean intersection gate via thresholded minimum activation ($0.000000$ absolute zero if one term is missing). -
Autonomous Multi-Hop Loop (
$A \to B \to C$ ): Executes internal multi-step deductions within a single forward pass (97.76% signal coherence across 2 hops, 95.71% across 4 hops).
5. Delta-Laplace Phase Memory Core ($s = \sigma + i\omega$ ) & Continuous-Time Discretization (v1.2.0) [CORE]
delta_phase (v1.2.0) introduces LaplacePhaseCore, extending unimodular phase
-
Continuous-to-Discrete ZOH Mapping: Mapes continuous Hurwitz stability
$\text{Re}(s) = \sigma \le 0$ to the discrete Z-plane unit disk ($|z| = e^{\sigma \Delta t} \le 1$ ) via Zero-Order Hold. -
Exact Chunkwise-Parallel Scan (P2): Because the decay
$\text{diag}(r_t)$ acts on the output rows of$M$ , the intra-chunk coupling reduces to the plain phasor Gram and the data-dependent decay factorizes in log-space — an exact batched triangular solve per output channel (no approximation). Equivalence vs the sequential oracle:$\le 4.1\times 10^{-7}$ across lengths, depths and non-zero initial states (tests/test_laplace_chunkwise.py); measured speedup$2.45\times$ at$L{=}1024, d{=}256$ , growing with sequence length. -
AMP-Safe Dtype Policy (P2): All phasor trigonometry runs in explicit FP32/FP64 (documented module policy); the full package now trains correctly under
torch.autocast(bfloat16)(tests/test_amp_dtypes.py). -
Time-Scale Invariance (
v339): Achieves 97.41% representation invariance across 2x time-scale shifts ($L=128$ ) and 92.39% across 4x time-scale shifts ($L=256$ ). -
Hurwitz Stability & Infinite Context (
v340): State norm$|M_t|_F$ remains strictly bounded in a corridor between 9.99 and 12.33 across 100,000 continuous tokens. -
Falsification & Positive Control Audit (
v341): Forcing$\text{Re}(s) = \sigma > 0$ causes immediate numerical explosion to$1.03 \times 10^{10}$ at step 18, proving stability is 100% driven by the Hurwitz constraint. -
Statistical Zero-Drift & SNR Audit (
v342): Linear regression slope over 50 checkpoints is$m = 9.229 \times 10^{-7} \approx 0.000000$ (zero drift), with a multi-needle capacity norm of$0.1000$ over 50 keys at step 100,000.
delta_phase includes an integer-quantized phasor evaluation core (docs/quantized_phasor_architecture_and_benchmarks.md):
-
Hardware-Native Modulo
$2\pi$ : Quantizing phase$\theta \in [0, 2\pi) \to \text{uint8}$ converts complex multiplication into single-cycle 8-bit integer addition ($\theta_K + \theta_V$ ). Periodic boundary wrapping is 100% free via native silicon register overflow. -
L1-Resident Cosine LUT: Computes attention affinities
$\text{Re}(K \bar{Q}) = \cos(\Delta\theta)$ via a 256-byte static lookup table fitting permanently in CPU/GPU L1 SRAM. -
Hybrid Precision Topology: Streaming keys/queries (
$K_t, Q_t$ ) are compressed touint8($8.0\times$ VRAM reduction), while the tiny recurrent state$M_t \in \mathbb{C}^{d_k \times d_k}$ (~4 KB/head) is retained in FP16 for exact gradient accumulation. -
Empirical Speedup: Achieves
$8.12\times$ faster binding throughput ($10.51\text{ Billion ops/sec}$ ) with$>99.30%$ angular fidelity and zero multi-pair recall degradation.
delta_phase introduces an architecture extension coupling the docs/pointer_augmented_token_buffer_architecture.md):
-
Decoupled Architecture: DeltaPhase performs continuous semantic reasoning and grammatical flow in GPU VRAM, while a lightweight integer token array (
uint16in system RAM) provides exact verbatim dereferencing. -
Negligible Footprint: Storing a
$100,000\text{ token}$ buffer consumes only$200\text{ KB}$ of standard system RAM. -
100.00% Verbatim Accuracy: Achieves
$100.0%$ exact copying match across code blocks and variable identifiers placed over$8,000$ tokens in the past, completely eliminating hallucinations on literal text reproduction (tests/test_pointer_augmented_memory_poc.py).
DeltaPhase is mathematically isomorphic to the physics of continuous-spin magnetic materials and phase oscillator networks (docs/physical_foundations_and_spin_glass_dynamics.md / docs/findings_spin_glass_and_kuramoto_relaxation.md):
-
2D XY Spin-Glass Hamiltonian: The phasor affinity
$\operatorname{Re}(K^\dagger Q) = \sum \cos(\theta_K - \theta_Q)$ is mathematically identical to the interaction energy of planar magnetic moments under exchange tensor$J$ . -
Recurrent Kuramoto Phase-Locked Inference: Resolves noisy/corrupted queries via iterative mean-field phase alignment, driving ambiguous inputs toward the exact memory energy basin (
$R \to 1.0$ ), achieving +4.4% to +14% signal recovery under severe phase noise (tests/test_spin_glass_recurrent_relaxation.py). -
Thermal Phase Transitions & Curie Temperature (
$T_c$ ): Explores candidate memories in paramagnetic phase ($T > T_c$ ) and cools into the ground state ($T \to 0$ ), resolving multi-hypothesis interference. -
Topological Vortex Invariance: Stores discrete discrete tokens/states with non-zero integer winding numbers (
$w \in \mathbb{Z}$ ), achieving provable 100% immunity against continuous phase noise.

Key Theoretical Breakthrough: Real Householder reflections
$I - \beta k k^*$ are restricted to real eigenvalues$1 - \beta \in (-1, 1)$ , limiting state updates to parity counting ($\mathbb{Z}2$). Parameterizing $\beta_t = 1 + e^{i\varphi_t}$ in $\mathbb{C}$ yields complex unit eigenvalues $-e^{i\varphi_t} \in S^1$, unlocking native $\mathbb{Z}_k$ cyclic group counting in a single token step. DeltaPhase achieves $99.59%$ on $\mathbb{Z}_9$ and **$96.57%$ on $\mathbb{Z}{12}$**, dramatically outperforming Softmax Transformers and beating real DeltaNet by$+51.62%$ and$+62.83%$ .
