arXiv:2605.26035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Length generalization remains a persistent challenge for neural networks: recurrent models tend to suffer from positional biases, while transformers are constrained by fixed computational depth. Regular languages provide a frequently used testbed for evaluating length generalization, as label prediction can be checked for any sequence length. We propose MLP-LDRU, a type of Log-Depth Recurrent Unit, which captures a class of associativity-biased operators designed to approximate recurrence through parallel reduction. We evaluate MLP-LDRU on 21 reg
