This is what happens when your recurrent unit has a phase space.

Most RNNs are black boxes. This one isn't.

I built a recurrent unit with a defined phase space — bistability, hysteresis, and limit cycles emerge naturally from the equations. No gates. No black magic. Just nonlinear dynamics.

The I‑Field RNN: memory of its own activity.

Beyond Black-Box RNNs: A Recurrent Architecture with Emergent Bistability, Hysteresis, and Interpretable Timescales

Most recurrent neural networks rely on high‑dimensional hidden states that lack an explicit dynamical interpretation and cannot autonomously generate multistability, hysteresis, or sustained oscillations. We introduce the I‑Field RNN, a low‑dimensional recurrent unit derived from a biophysical conductance‑based neuron model through adiabatic elimination. The unit is governed by two interpretable variables: a fast synaptic current and a slow internal field with learnable refractory feedback.   This design yields a well‑defined phase space with several emergent properties. For a range of the refractory coefficient, the system undergoes a saddle‑node bifurcation, creating bistability and hysteresis; a brief input pulse permanently switches the unit between attractors, producing a transparent memory switch. With inhibitory feedback, a supercritical Hopf bifurcation ($l_1 = -7.38 < 0$) generates sustained limit cycles.   We validate the model on synthetic binary event streams with a known refractory period, using a context window shorter than the refractory period to force reliance on the internal field. The field decay rate $\alpha_I$ shows a sharp two‑regime adaptation: for short refractory periods it increases significantly to accelerate the field decay, while for long periods it remains at its biophysically motivated slow initialisation ($p = 0.0013$, t‑test). The refractory coefficient $\rho$ provides complementary modulation. These results confirm that the unit actively uses its structural memory rather than relying solely on opaque recurrent weights.   The I‑Field RNN bridges dynamical systems theory and differentiable computation, offering a transparent, multistable, and oscillatory alternative to black‑box recurrent architectures.

Atterrir c’est planifier. Réponse à Guillaume Carnino - Contretemps

Le livre de Cédric Durand et Razmig Keucheyan, "Comment bifurquer ? Les principes de la planification écologique", (2024) et de Cédric Durand, "Faut-il se passer du numérique pour sauver la planète ?" (2025) ont suscité de nombreux débats, notamment quant à la place à accorder aux technologies numériques dans un projet de planification écosocialiste. Dans Terrestres, Guillaume Carnino critique vertement ces ouvrages qui seraient porteurs d’un « accélérationnisme de gauche ». Cédric Durand et Razmig Keucheyan lui répondent.

A new AI approach, trained on physical equations, allows identifying the moment when a stable flow becomes unstable.

Machine learning could transform simulations in engineering, weather, and extreme events.

New AI method flags fluid flow tipping points before simulations break down

David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to detect sudden changes in fluid behavior, improving speed and the cost of identifying these instabilities and overcoming one of the major obstacles faced when using machine learning to simulate physical systems. The findings are published in the Journal of Computational Physics.
