the question
Is the running-max stabilizer in xLSTM's sLSTM merely one overflow-safe choice, and is it the pointwise-minimal such gauge?
what came out
The stabilizer offset is a gauge: output h=C/N is exactly invariant to any offset schedule (naive and random within 3e-16 to 3e-14 of running-max). The running max is the pointwise-minimal overflow-safe gauge, hitting max-gate=1 at 1200/1200 steps, and it converts the normalizer's exact overflow horizon t*=1415 into linear growth.
method & receipts
- Result: confirmed
- Tested — a correctness/benchmark suite ships alongside the code.
