LiquidFlow Block — Hybrid CfC + Mamba-2 SSD architecture.
The core innovation: combine Liquid Neural Network dynamics (CfC)
with Mamba-2's efficient linear-time state space model.
Architecture per block:
Input → [CfC Gate → Mamba2 SSD → CfC Gate] → Output
↑ ↑
Adaptive gating Gated output
The CfC provides:
- Time-continuous adaptive gating (what to process/ignore)
- State initialization for the SSM (the "liquid" memory)
The Mamba-2 SSD provides:
- Efficient O(N) sequence processing
- Content-aware selection mechanism
- Parallelizable computation (no sequential bottleneck)
Together they create a "Liquid State Space Model" (LSSM):
h_t = σ(-f(x_t;θ_f)·t) ⊙ SSM(x_t, h_{t-1}) + (1-σ(...)) ⊙ h(x_t;θ_h)
Where SSM is the Mamba-2 selective state space model and the
CfC time-gates control how much the SSM output influences state.
This is inspired by:
- LNNs: adaptive time constants for state evolution
- Mamba-2: efficient selective state space models
- DiMSUM: multi-scan architecture for 2D images
- Gated SSM: gating mechanism from CfC applied to SSM

LiquidMamba: CfC-gated Mamba-2 SSD block.
The CfC cell acts as a learned gate on the Mamba-2 output,
creating a liquid time-constant mechanism for the SSM:
1. Input goes through Mamba-2 SSD (multi-directional scan)
2. CfC cell receives the SSM output + original input
3. CfC produces a time-gated output: σ(f)·SSM_out + (1-σ(f))·input
4. The CfC's liquid dynamics adaptively mix SSM features with raw input
This creates a "content-aware gating" that the CfC learns to
control based on both the input and the SSM's processed features.
