Researchers have introduced Kan Extension Transformers (KETs), a new framework that unifies various Transformer implementations under a categorical lens. KETs view Transformer layers as weighted structured extension operators, encompassing standard attention, Geometric Transformers, and higher-order simplicial cases. This framework also bridges to diffusion-style completion and introduces a self-conditioning mechanism by acting on detached predictive carriers, which reveals non-causal structure without leaking future tokens. Experiments on Penn Treebank, WikiText-2, and WikiText-103 showed that KETs in a strict-causal setting outperformed other causal architectures, with the predict-detach regime yielding the most significant gains.
