arXiv:2606.06564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residual connections are central to training deep Transformers, but standard PreNorm residual streams aggregate sublayer updates with fixed unit weights. Recent Attention Residuals replace this fixed accumulation with content-dependent depth-wise routing, and Block Attention Residuals make the mechanism efficient by routing over block-level residual summaries. However, a single block summary stores only the low-frequency total residual displacement inside a block, discarding directional structure such as attention-vs-MLP imbalance and early-vs-la
