Long-sequence memory tracking places two opposing demands on a recurrent state: near-lossless retention of stored bindings over long horizons, and active overwriting of stale ones. In our diagnostic suite, the strongest efficient baselines tend to solve only one side well.

arXiv:2606. 07254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State tracking exposes a sharp limitation of sequence models: the relevant signal is often not a summary of observed tokens, but an ordered latent state that evolves through non-commutative transformations.

arXiv:2607. 10441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Context engineering decides what information a model carries forward, and current designs meter it in tokens: compressing the past into a bounded recurrent state, keeping a key-value entry for every token, or imposing a fixed budget through a window or eviction rule.
