Slow oscillatory modes bottleneck recurrent reasoning; a rotational symmetry sidesteps them

Park and Rusch analyze looped reasoning as convergence in a learned dynamical landscape and identify a mechanism: a slowly decaying oscillatory mode can impose its convergence rate on coupled latent dynamics, delaying settlement near solution roots.

The authors first develop a local coupling model around a solution root, separating an oscillatory spectral coordinate from complementary latent dynamics.

In one line

A slowly decaying oscillatory mode can bottleneck convergence in looped reasoners; QRR makes symmetry-generated motion irrelevant to quotient dynamics to avoid it.
