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.

The paper introduces an input‑dependent readout phase for ResonatorLM, a resonant sequence model that traditionally uses a fixed phase per head to read memory. By making the phase a function of the current token, the authors add input dependence to the read‑only operation while preserving the exact convolutional path and adding only 0.2 % more parameters. Experiments on 6 M‑parameter character‑level models show that this modification matches the original performance at the training length and dramatically improves generalisation to longer sequences, reducing perplexity from 12.81 to 3.76 when trained on 256 tokens and tested on 1024 tokens.
