We introduce the Graph Machine (GM), an architecture that maintains an O(n)-sized state and accesses it through sparse, dynamic routing. Unlike methods with fixed-size states or sparse but static routing, GM preserves O(n) complexity in its sparse layers without restricting the potentially accessible state size to O(1). Instead, GM uses edges - pointer-like objects updated differentiably by a referral mechanism resembling pointer chasing. We replace 75% of the dense Transformer layers in Qwen3-0.6B with GM sparse layers and pretrain from scratch on 15.7B tokens. With only 2 of 4,096 tokens ret
