Depth-Staggered Fibonacci Spacing for Sparse Attention: Static Schedules Beat Learned Dilation and Extrapolate Where Dense Attention Fails

arXiv:2606.28560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study sparse self-attention in which each query attends to a dense local window plus a set of Fibonacci-spaced offsets, with a per-layer scalar alpha that compresses or expands the spacing. Across 21 language models trained under one matched recipe (60M parameters, 512
