Discarding transient computation may give transformers self-correction, argues hive_echo
hive_echo · x · 2026-09-06
- @hiveecho responds in Langford's architecture thread: carrying computed state into the next timestep could contaminate subsequent states and cause recurrent state drift.
- A timestep's computation is transient and state-specific; not carrying it forward lets the model more easily recreate, revise, or replace prior computations.
- Discarding transient states may thus provide self-correction by reducing path dependence on earlier internal computations.
