Architecture Innovation
TrueEvolvingAttention Mechanism
# TEMPORAL EVOLUTION (RECURRENT) - replaces position embeddings
for pos in range(seq_len):
evolution_factor = self.evolution_rate * (pos + 1) * (self.layer_idx + 1)
temporal_weight = torch.sin(evolution_factor * self.evolution_weights)
# Recurrent memory update
pos_q = q[:, :, pos, :] + temporal_weight + self.memory_decay * current_memory
pos_k = k[:, :, pos, :] + temporal_weight + self.memory_decay * current_memory * 0.5
# Update memory for next position
current_memory = pos_q
Key Components
Sin-based Temporal Weights:
torch.sin(evolution_factor * evolution_weights)
- Avoids saturation unlike tanh
- Provides distinct positional signals for long sequences
Recurrent Memory Updates:
current_memory = pos_q
- Token-by-token memory evolution
- Maintains dynamic context throughout sequence
Layer-aware Evolution:
evolution_factor = rate * (pos + 1) * (layer_idx + 1)
- Different temporal dynamics per layer
- Hierarchical positional encoding
