## π Key Concepts to Understand
Before implementing, understand these core Titans concepts:
### 1. Momentum-Based Updates (Section 1)
- **What:** Memory updates combine past momentum (S_t) with current gradient
- **Why:** Captures token flow, not just momentary surprise
- **Equation:** `M_t = diag(1-Ξ±_t)M_t + S_t`
- **Research Paper:** Lines 426-489
### 2. Token Flow Tracking (Section 2)
- **What:** Sequential token dependencies influence memory updates
- **Why:** Beyond single-step surprise to sequence patterns
- **Key Idea:** Flow weights based on recency + similarity
- **Research Paper:** Lines 364-366
### 3. Forgetting Gate (Section 3)
- **What:** Learnable Ξ±_t parameter controls memory decay
- **Why:** Prevents memory overflow in long sequences
- **Key Idea:** Adaptive forgetting based on surprise
- **Research Paper:** Lines 472-476
### 4. Deep Neural Memory (Section 4)
- **What:** Neural network stores memory, not flat tensors
- **Why:** Higher expressive power for complex information
- **Key Idea:** Hierarchical compression via multi-layer network
- **Research Paper:** Lines 450-452
### 5. Hierarchical Memory (Section 5)
- **What:** Working β Short-term β Long-term promotion
- **Why:** Mimics human memory systems
- **Key Idea:** Access-based and time-based promotion rules
- **Research Paper:** Lines 381-386
### 6. Non-Linear Recurrence (Throughout)
- **What:** Inter-chunk non-linear, intra-chunk linear
- **Why:** Higher expressive power than pure linear models
- **Key Idea:** Combines transformer (non-linear) with recurrence (linear)
- **Research Paper:** Lines 453-456

## π‘ Tips for Success
### Do's
β
**Read the research paper sections** before implementing
β
**Follow the step-by-step guides** exactly as written
β
**Run tests after each section** to verify correctness
β
**Update progress docs** to maintain context
β
**Use the navigation quick reference** when lost
β
**Start with Priority 1 items** for maximum impact
β
**Implement one complete section** before moving on
### Don'ts
β **Don't skip the research paper context** - you'll miss why
β **Don't implement multiple sections in parallel** - maintain focus
β **Don't modify code outside the guide** - stay on track
β **Don't skip tests** - they catch integration issues
β **Don't forget to update docs** - maintain the knowledge base
β **Don't start with P3 items** - build foundation first
β **Don't work from memory** - always reference the guide
### When Stuck
1. **Check the mapping section** - Lines 2399-2538 in guide
2. **Review research paper** - Original concept explanation
3. **Read test examples** - See expected behavior
4. **Check current code** - Understand existing implementation
5. **Look at related sections** - May have dependencies
