arXiv:2608.22354v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Delta-Rule recurrent models maintain a fixed-size state, enabling $O(1)$ inference memory but potentially becoming unstable under extreme-context extrapolation. By tracking RWKV-7 over sequences of up to 100M tokens, we empirically identify a distinct failure pattern: \textbf{localized norm explosion atop a relatively sparse substrate}, rather than global state saturation. Analysis of the recurrent update suggests that persistent decay keeps weakly updated entries small, whereas uneven injections allow a few channels to accumulate extreme values. Motivated by this diagnosis, we propose \textbf{State Anomaly Neutralization (SANE)}, which applies adaptive $\tanh$ compression at chunk boundaries while preserving the intra-chunk parallel structure. Within a safe threshold range ($3 \le \alpha \le 5$), SANE matches the baseline on 11 short-context reasoning benchmarks with no statistically significant degradation. After a 100M-token prefix, which exceeds the training length by over $24{,}000\times$, SANE retains functional reasoning ($33.46$--$35.56$) while the baseline encounters numerical overflow. In contrast, overly permissive thresholds ($\alpha \ge 8$) remain numerically stable but lose reasoning capability entirely, showing that numerical stabilization alone does not guarantee functional reasoning and revealing a capacity--stability trade-off in state compression.
