Keystone is an experimental, non-Transformer language-model hypothesis. A
causal read/write chronicle summarizes the prefix into a compact bank of dense
states; one shared dense gated processor then refines each token state several
times. The repeated processor intentionally trades extra compute for stored
parameter efficiency. It is not a Llama implementation and has not yet been
validated at meaningful language-model scale.
This module deliberately depends only on ``mlx.core`` and ``mlx.nn``. It has
no PyTorch fallback: a missing or inaccessible MLX Metal runtime is a setup
error, not an invitation to silently run a different backend.
