Revisits hidden states with a shared decoder stack over multiple latent computation passes.

Inside the method

[ Decoder stack ] × R

Simplified conceptual schematic. Consult the paper for the complete architecture.

Recurrence family
Full-stack recurrence
Depth control
Loop count + exit policy
KV / state strategy
Per-loop cache

Reading note

The inspected Ouro-2.6B implementation computes all loop states before selecting an exit output. Its exit option alone does not demonstrate skipped computation. Published configuration: 48 layers, 4 passes.
