Memory and chaos in a physics-constrained relaxation substrate: phase diagram, multi-timescale forgetting, and disturbance robustness
Reservoir computing exploits the fading-memory dynamics of a physical substrate, yet the memory–chaos trade-off is usually studied on abstract recurrent networks with hand-tuned leak rates. We characterize a physics-constrained relaxation substrate inspired by Si3N4 shallow-trap charge storage: N units with a log-norma...
