Self-Attention Dynamics with Rotary Position Embeddings: Twisted States and Explicit Consensus Rates on the Sphere
Hao Ye
math.DS · cs.LG
Rotary position embeddings (RoPE) modify attention scores through position-dependent rotations, but their effect on normalized token dynamics is not captured by the vanilla spherical self-attention model. We study the continuous-time dynamics obtained when queries and keys are rotated while values remain on the unit sphere. The resulting attention kernel is reversible and admits a sharp uniform softmax floor, yet the natural RoPE interaction...
