Interpreting the Synchronization Gap: The Hidden Mechanism Inside Diffusion Transformers

ArXi:2603.20987v1 Announce Type: new Recent theoretical models of diffusion processes, conceptualized as coupled Ornstein-Uhlenbeck systems, predict a hierarchy of interaction timescales, and consequently, the existence of a synchronization gap between modes that commit at different stages of the reverse process. However, because these predictions rely on continuous time and analytically tractable score functions, it remains unclear how this phenomenology manifests in the deep, discrete architectures deployed in practice.
