-## ❓ What Makes TMT Different
+## What is TMT?
 
-Every transformer since Vaswani et al. (2017) makes the same three assumptions:
+TMT is a novel PyTorch transformer architecture that simultaneously resolves three fundamental inefficiencies in standard transformers:
 
-1. **Static topology** — every token attends to every other token (O(S²) complexity)
-2. **Fixed depth** — every token passes through every layer regardless of difficulty
-3. **Time-agnostic position** — positional encoding treats all positions equivalently without semantic distance weighting
-
-TMT breaks all three simultaneously in a single unified forward pass.
-
-| Property | GPT / BERT | Graph Transformer | Early Exit | MoE | **TMT** |
-|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
-| Dynamic graph topology | ✗ | Partial | ✗ | ✗ | **✓** |
-| Per-token adaptive depth | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ | **✓** |
-| Semantic temporal decay | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | **✓** |
-| Persistent memory anchors | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | **✓** |
-| Dual-stream FFN | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | Partial | **✓** |
-| Joint training of all innovations | — | — | — | — | **✓** |
-
-No prior architecture combines all five of these properties. TMT is the first.
+| Problem | Standard Transformer | TMT Solution |
+|---|---|---|
+| Quadratic attention cost | $O(S^2)$ per layer | **Mesh Attention**: $O(S \cdot k)$ dynamic $k$NN graph |
+| Static attention topology | Fixed fully-connected | **Dynamic graph** rebuilt per-layer from cosine similarity |
+| Uniform token compute | All tokens use all $N$ layers | **Adaptive Depth Routing**: exit gate per token, avg 5.8/12 layers |
+| Flat positional encoding | Position only | **Temporal Decay**: learned multiplicative semantic attenuation |
+| No cross-sequence memory | Stateless | **EMA Memory Anchors**: 16 persistent fast-weight vectors |

-## 🔬 The Three Innovations
-
-### Innovation 1 — Mesh Attention (Dynamic Graph Topology)
-
-**Problem:** Standard self-attention computes O(S²) attention scores regardless of semantic relevance. Most attended pairs carry negligible information weight.
-
-**Solution:** Before each layer, TMT recomputes the full token graph using cosine similarity of current representations, then retains only the top-k nearest neighbours per token. This gives an O(S·k) sparse graph that concentrates attention capacity where it matters most.
-
-**Formal definition:**
+## Results
 
-```
-sim(i, j) = x_i · x_j / (‖x_i‖ · ‖x_j‖)
-
-Neighbours(i) = top-k_{j ≠ i} sim(i, j)
-
-edge_weight(i, j) = sim(i, j)  for j ∈ Neighbours(i),  else 0
-```
-
-**Pseudocode:**
-
-```python
-# MeshBuilder.forward — runs once per layer
-x_norm = F.normalize(x_flat, p=2, dim=-1)          # (B*S, D)
-sim = x_norm @ x_norm.T                             # (B*S, B*S)
-sim.fill_diagonal_(float('-inf'))                   # no self-loops
-topk_vals, topk_idx = sim.topk(k, dim=-1)           # (B*S, k)
-edge_index = build_coo(topk_idx)                    # (2, B*S*k)
-edge_weight = topk_vals.flatten()                   # (B*S*k,)
-```
+| Model | WikiText-2 PPL ↓ | WikiText-103 PPL ↓ | LongBench ↑ | Compute |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Vanilla Transformer | 42.1 | 51.3 | 41.2 | 100% |
+| Longformer | 39.6 | 47.2 | 49.8 | 62% |
+| Mamba | 31.8 | 38.4 | 51.3 | 55% |
+| RWKV | 33.1 | 40.9 | 48.7 | 50% |
+| **Full TMT** | **29.4** | **36.1** | **53.4** | **48%** |
 
-**Key insight:** The graph is rebuilt every layer using updated representations. A token that was semantically distant in layer 0 may become a critical neighbour in layer 6 once context is established. Static graphs (as in prior graph transformers) cannot capture this dynamic topology evolution.
-
-**Result:** Mesh attention alone reduces compute to 0.62× while dropping PPL from 42.1 to 37.8 — an 11.2% improvement.
+All models: ~120M parameters. TMT trained for 10K steps on WikiText-2 (AdamW, cosine LR, seeds 42/1337/2024).
 
 ---
 
-### Innovation 2 — Temporal Semantic Decay
-
-**Problem:** Standard positional encodings (sinusoidal, RoPE, ALiBi) encode position but not semantic distance. A token at position 500 is not necessarily semantically "farther" from position 0 than position 5 is — but the model has no mechanism to express this distinction prior to attention.
-
-**Solution:** TMT learns per-dimension decay weights applied to token embeddings before attention. Tokens at later positions are attenuated by a learned sigmoid function of their normalized position. This allows the model to express "this semantic content fades with distance" without any recurrence.
-
-**Formal definition:**
+## Architecture at a Glance
 
 ```
-t_s = s / (S - 1)                              # normalized position ∈ [0, 1]
-decay(s, d) = σ(−t_s · w_decay[d])            # per-dim sigmoid decay
-x̃[s, d] = x[s, d] · decay(s, d)
+Input → Token Embedding + RoPE
+      → [× 12 layers]
+           MeshBuilder (kNN graph, cosine sim, top-k=8)
+           Mesh Attention  O(S·k)  + Temporal Decay Encoding
+           EMA Memory Anchor Cross-Attention (16 anchors, β=0.99)
+           Dual-Stream FFN (syntax stream ‖ semantic stream, sigmoid gate)
+           Exit Gate  σ(W_gate · x) > 0.85 → token frozen
+      → LayerNorm → Tied Output Projection
+      → Logits (B, S, V)
 ```
 
-Where `w_decay ∈ ℝ^D` is a learned parameter vector initialized to `decay_rate` (default 0.1).
-
-**Key insight:** The decay is per-dimension, not a single scalar. This lets the model learn which embedding dimensions should decay quickly (syntactic surface features) vs slowly (deep semantic content). The decay scalars are carried through all subsequent layers so downstream components can condition on temporal distance.
-
-**Result:** Temporal decay alone yields PPL 40.3 vs vanilla 42.1 — modest alone, but provides critical signal when combined with mesh attention (Mesh+Decay: 34.2 PPL, an 18.8% improvement over vanilla).
+**Output fields** (TMTOutput dataclass):
+- `logits` — (B, S, V) next-token predictions
+- `exit_masks` — list of (B, S) booleans, one per layer
+- `confidences` — gate confidence per token per layer
+- `graph_edges` — sparse kNN edge list from final layer
+- `memory_state` — (M, D) final EMA anchor states
+- `decay_scalars` — temporal decay weights applied

-### Innovation 3 — Adaptive Depth Routing (Early Exit)
-
-**Problem:** All transformer tokens process through all N layers identically. Common words ("the", "a", punctuation) require far less computation than rare entities, complex reasoning steps, or ambiguous references. Uniform depth wastes compute on easy tokens.
-
-**Solution:** After each layer, a single linear gate projects each token's representation to a confidence scalar. Tokens exceeding the threshold have their representations frozen and skip remaining layers entirely. The gate is trained with an auxiliary loss that encourages decisiveness.
-
-**Formal definition:**
-
-```
-confidence(s) = σ(W_gate · h_s + b_gate)      # scalar per token
-exit(s)       = confidence(s) > threshold
-
-if exit(s):
-    h_s stays unchanged for all subsequent layers
-```
-
-**Auxiliary loss:**
+## Quick Start
 
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vignesh2027/TemporalMesh-Transformer
+cd TemporalMesh-Transformer
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
 ```
-L_gate = −E[|confidence − 0.5|]               # reward decisiveness
-L_total = L_CE + 0.1 · L_gate
-```
-
-The coefficient 0.1 keeps the auxiliary loss from dominating the language modelling objective while still driving the gate to be decisive (push toward 0 or 1, not linger at 0.5).
-
-**Pseudocode:**
 
 ```python
-exit_mask = torch.zeros(B, S, dtype=torch.bool)
-for layer in self.layers:
-    x_frozen = x.clone()
-    x = layer.attn(x) + layer.ffn(x)          # standard compute
-    confidence = sigmoid(layer.gate_proj(x))   # (B, S)
-    newly_exited = (~exit_mask) & (confidence > threshold)
-    exit_mask = exit_mask | newly_exited
-    # Freeze exited tokens — carry representation unchanged
-    x = torch.where(exit_mask.unsqueeze(-1), x_frozen, x)
-```
-
-**Key insight:** The exit decision is fully learned from data, not hand-crafted per token type. On WikiText-2, the model learns to exit common tokens early and keep complex tokens active through all 12 layers. Average exit layer drops to 5.5/12 — saving 54% of layer computations.
-
-**Result:** Adaptive exit alone gives PPL 39.6 with avg 5.8 layers (0.51× compute). Combined with all three innovations, achieves 5.5 avg layers (0.48× compute) and PPL 29.4.
