Before revision:  Gating is also shown to give rise to a novel, discontinuous transition to chaos, where the proliferation of critical points (topological complexity) is decoupled from the appearance of chaotic dynamics (dynamical complexity), contrary to a seminal result for additive RNNs. Critical surfaces and regions of marginal stability in the parameter space are indicated in phase diagrams, thus providing a map for principled parameter choices for ML practitioners.
