Six advanced questions on the mathematical boundaries of LLM context windows: quadratic self-attention complexity, Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE), Softmax entropy dilution, KV cache VRAM footprint calculation, needle-in-a-haystack retrieval dynamics, and YaRN context scaling.
Why does standard scaled dot-product attention exhibit O(N^2) computational and memory complexity with sequence length N?
