Claim 4 / Proposition 4.1: M is N-semiseparable <=> M is N-SSS representable.
Definitions used (the paper's):
* lower-triangular M is **N-semiseparable** if every submatrix taken strictly
from the lower-left, M[i:, :i], has rank <= N, for every split i.
* M is **N-SSS representable** if for i > j
M_ij = C_i^T A_{i-1} A_{i-2} ... A_{j+1} B_j
with A_k in R^{N x N}, B_j, C_i in R^N -- exactly the SSM recurrence.
Both directions are checked constructively, and a converse control shows a matrix
whose semiseparable rank exceeds N admits no N-SSS representation.
Claim 5 / Section 5: softmax attention breaks the duality by rank explosion.
Linear (kernel) attention has off-diagonal blocks of rank <= d, the head
dimension. Softmax applies a nonlinearity entrywise; the ranks are measured.
