  Evidencepartial

  Existing linear recurrent models offer efficient in-context associative recall for temporal tracking, but rely on unconstrained state updates, which cause progressive singular value decay in the state matrix, a phenomenon known as rank collapse, resulting in anatomical details being overwhelmed by noise.
