Original abstract

Whether distinct neural architectures develop common collective dynamics remains an open question. Recent analysis of Transformer language models revealed a nearly flat, weakly infrared-enhanced time-scale density of states (TDOS) associated with near-marginal long-memory dynamics. Here we test whether a closely related organization emerges in Mamba, whose selective state-space dynamics provides a fundamentally different microscopic mechanism. Mamba allows relaxation dynamics to be resolved at three levels: the intrinsic spectrum of the learned state-space generator, its input-conditioned selective rescaling, and the collective TDOS of the complete block measured from its Jacobian. These spectra are not identical: selective dynamics and the remaining block transformations substantially reorganize the microscopic relaxation hierarchy. Nevertheless, the full block develops a reproducible slow-mode continuum whose infrared sector becomes progressively better resolved with increasing sequence length. Cumulative analysis yields $ρ(λ)\simλ^β$, with the long-sequence Mamba exponent stabilizing near $β_{\rm M}\simeq-0.17$. The corresponding memory dynamics follows $K(t)\sim t^{-(1+β)}$, close to the marginal $1/t$ regime. Despite fundamentally different microscopic dynamics, Transformer full-block spectra exhibit closely related infrared organization, with representative exponents of order $β_{\rm Tr}\sim-0.1$. These results separate explicit state-space memory from collective infrared organization and show that distinct sequence architectures can develop closely related near-marginal slow-mode dynamics. They extend infrared collective organization beyond Transformers and provide an independent test of the dynamical structure described by Cognitive Field Theory.
