+//! Arena allocator for efficient weight storage.
+//!
+//! Provides a single contiguous allocation for all model weights,
+//! reducing memory fragmentation and improving cache locality.
+//!
+//! ## Benefits
+//!
+//! - Single allocation: O(1) allocations vs O(n) for per-layer alloc
+//! - Cache locality: Contiguous memory improves prefetch efficiency
+//! - Deterministic: No runtime allocator overhead during inference
+//! - Alignment: 64-byte aligned for SIMD operations
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::arena::WeightArena;
+//!
+//! // Calculate total size needed
+//! let total_bytes = 1024 * 1024; // 1MB for example
+//!
+//! // Create arena
+//! let mut arena = WeightArena::new(total_bytes);
+//!
+//! // Allocate slices from arena
+//! let w1 = arena.alloc_i8(256 * 1024).unwrap();
+//! let w2 = arena.alloc_i8(256 * 1024).unwrap();
+//! let scales = arena.alloc_f32(256).unwrap();
+//! ```

+//! Based on Spike-Driven Self-Attention (Yao et al., 2023).
+//! Uses temporal coding and binary operations instead of floating-point multiplications,
+//! achieving up to 87.2x lower energy consumption compared to vanilla attention.
+//!
+//! Key innovations:
+//! - Rate coding: Values encoded as spike timing
+//! - Binary QKV: Query/Key/Value as binary spike trains
+//! - Mask-and-add: Attention computed without multiplications
+//! - Refractory period: Prevents spike bursts

+//! Coherence-driven early exit for self-speculative inference.
+//!
+//! Based on LayerSkip (Elhoushi et al., 2024) but uses λ stability instead of learned classifiers.
+//!
+//! ## Design Rationale
+//!
+//! LayerSkip enables early exit by learning classifiers that predict when intermediate
+//! layers produce sufficiently good outputs. However, this introduces:
+//! - Non-determinism from learned components
+//! - Additional training overhead
+//! - Difficulty in understanding exit decisions
+//!
+//! Our approach leverages mincut λ signals for early exit decisions:
+//! - High λ + stable λ-delta → confident exit
+//! - Low λ or volatile λ-delta → continue to deeper layers
+//! - Boundary concentration → affects exit confidence
+//!
+//! This enables self-speculative decoding where we:
+//! 1. Exit early with high confidence tokens
+//! 2. Generate speculative tokens
+//! 3. Verify with full-depth pass
+//!
+//! Benefits:
+//! - Deterministic behavior
+//! - Explainable via witness
+//! - No training overhead
+//! - Integrates with existing mincut infrastructure

+//! FlashAttention-style tiled attention for CPU.
+//!
+//! Implements memory-efficient attention computation using block-wise tiling
+//! to maximize L1/L2 cache utilization, inspired by FlashAttention-3.
+//!
+//! ## Key Features
+//!
+//! 1. **Block-wise computation** - Tiles Q, K, V to fit in cache (typically 64×64 blocks)
+//! 2. **Online softmax** - Numerically stable single-pass softmax without full materialization
+//! 3. **Tiled GEMM** - Fused Q@K^T and scores@V to avoid O(n²) intermediate storage
+//! 4. **Memory efficiency** - O(n) memory instead of O(n²) for attention matrix
+//! 5. **Quantization support** - INT8 variant for 4× memory reduction
+//!
+//! ## Academic Foundation
+//!
+//! Based on FlashAttention-3 (Dao et al., 2024):
+//! - Dao, T., et al. (2024). "FlashAttention-3: Fast and Accurate Attention with Asynchrony and Low-Precision"
+//! - Shah, J., et al. (2024). "FlashAttention-2: Faster Attention with Better Parallelism and Work Partitioning"
+//!
+//! ## Performance
+//!
+//! Expected improvements over naive attention:
+//! - Memory: 4-16× reduction (depends on sequence length)
+//! - Speed: 2-4× faster due to cache efficiency
+//! - Numerical stability: Identical to standard attention
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::flash_attention::{
+//!     FlashAttentionConfig, flash_attention_forward,
+//! };
+//!
+//! let config = FlashAttentionConfig {
+//!     block_size_q: 64,
+//!     block_size_kv: 64,
+//!     head_dim: 64,
+//!     causal: true,
+//!     softmax_scale: 0.125, // 1/sqrt(64)
+//! };
+//!
+//! let seq_len = 128;
+//! let head_dim = 64;
+//!
+//! let q = vec![0.0f32; seq_len * head_dim];
+//! let k = vec![0.0f32; seq_len * head_dim];
+//! let v = vec![0.0f32; seq_len * head_dim];
+//! let mut output = vec![0.0f32; seq_len * head_dim];
+//!
+//! flash_attention_forward(

+//! Gate controller for coherence-based intervention.
+//!
+//! Implements coherence-gated control inspired by:
+//! - **Mixture-of-Depths** (Raposo et al., 2024) - Dynamic compute tiers based on complexity
+//! - **Energy-Based Transformers** (Gladstone et al., 2025) - Lambda as energy metric
+//! - **Spectral Graph Theory** (Kreuzer et al., 2021) - Mincut signals for coherence
+//!
+//! The gate controller evaluates mincut signals and determines:
+//! - Whether to intervene
+//! - What type of intervention (reduce scope, flush KV, freeze writes, quarantine)
+//! - What compute tier to use (0=normal, 1=reduced, 2=safe, 3=skip)
+//! - What effective parameters to apply (layers, sequence length, attention window)
+//!
+//! Supports both rule-based and energy-based policies.

+//! INT4 quantization for maximum weight compression.
+//!
+//! Stores 2 weight values per byte, providing 2× memory reduction over INT8.
+//! Uses per-row scaling for accuracy preservation.
+//!
+//! ## Format
+//!
+//! Each byte stores 2 INT4 values (range -8 to +7):
+//! - High nibble: first value (bits 4-7)
+//! - Low nibble: second value (bits 0-3)
+//!
+//! Values are stored in signed representation:
+//! - 0-7 represent 0-7
+//! - 8-15 represent -8 to -1
+//!
+//! ## Memory Savings
+//!
+//! | Model Size | INT8  | INT4  | Savings |
+//! |------------|-------|-------|---------|
+//! | 7B params  | 7 GB  | 3.5 GB| 50%     |
+//! | 13B params | 13 GB | 6.5 GB| 50%     |
+//! | 70B params | 70 GB | 35 GB | 50%     |
+//!
+//! ## Accuracy
+//!
+//! Per-row scaling preserves relative magnitudes within each output row.
+//! Typical accuracy loss: 0.5-2% on downstream tasks vs INT8.

+//! KIVI 2-bit/4-bit quantization with asymmetric per-channel/per-token schemes.
+//!
+//! Based on: "KIVI: A Tuning-Free Asymmetric 2bit Quantization for KV Cache" (Liu et al., 2024)
+//!
+//! Key insights:
+//! - Keys have large outliers per channel -> use per-channel quantization
+//! - Values have consistent per-token magnitude -> use per-token quantization
+//! - 2-bit achieves ~8x compression with <0.3 PPL degradation
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::kv_cache::kivi::{KiviQuantizer, QuantScheme};
+//!
+//! let quantizer = KiviQuantizer::new(2, 64); // 2-bit, 64 head_dim
+//!
+//! let data = vec![1.0f32; 64];
+//! let (quantized, min_val, max_val) = quantizer.quantize(&data, QuantScheme::PerChannel);
+//! let dequantized = quantizer.dequantize(&quantized, min_val, max_val);
+//! ```

+//! KVQuant: Pre-RoPE Key Quantization for Quality-Critical Long Contexts
+//!
+//! Based on: "KVQuant: Towards 10 Million Context Length LLM Inference
+//! with KV Cache Quantization" (Hooper et al., 2024)
+//!
+//! Key insights:
+//! - Quantize keys BEFORE RoPE application
+//! - Pre-RoPE keys have smaller dynamic range, quantize better
+//! - Apply RoPE during attention (deferred, once per query)
+//! - 3-bit achieves ~5.3x compression with < 0.1 PPL degradation at 128K context
+//!
+//! This quantizer is recommended for contexts > 8K tokens where quality is paramount.

+//! KV Cache quantization with Hadamard transforms.
+//!
+//! Based on RotateKV (IJCAI 2025) - achieves <0.3 PPL degradation at 2-bit.
+//! Uses Hadamard rotation to mitigate outliers before quantization.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! The quantization pipeline:
+//! 1. Apply Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform (FWHT) to smooth outliers
+//! 2. Compute per-head min/max for dynamic range
+//! 3. Quantize to 2-bit or 4-bit integers
+//! 4. Store packed format with per-head scaling factors
+//!
+//! During attention:
+//! 1. Dequantize using stored scales
+//! 2. Apply inverse Hadamard transform
+//! 3. Use in attention computation
+//!
+//! # Performance
+//!
+//! - Memory: 2-bit achieves 16x compression, 4-bit achieves 8x compression
+//! - Quality: <0.3 PPL degradation at 2-bit, <0.1 at 4-bit
+//! - Speed: O(n log n) Hadamard transform overhead

+//! # Mincut Gated Transformer
+//!
+//! Ultra low latency transformer inference designed for continuous systems.
+//! Governed by a coherence controller driven by dynamic minimum cut signals
+//! and optionally a spiking scheduler that skips work when nothing meaningful
+//! is happening.
+//!
+//! ## Academic Foundations
+//!
+//! This crate integrates multiple state-of-the-art optimization techniques:
+//!
+//! 1. **Mixture-of-Depths** (Raposo et al., 2024) - Dynamic compute allocation with 50% FLOPs reduction
+//! 2. **Early Exit** (Elhoushi et al., 2024) - Layer-skipping with 30-50% latency reduction
+//! 3. **Sparse Attention** (Jiang et al., 2024) - 90% attention FLOPs reduction for long contexts
+//! 4. **Energy-Based Transformers** (Gladstone et al., 2025) - Principled compute-quality tradeoffs
+//! 5. **Spike-Driven Inference** (Yao et al., 2023, 2024) - 87× energy reduction via event-driven compute
+//! 6. **Spectral Methods** (Kreuzer et al., 2021) - Graph-based coherence via spectral partitioning
+//!
+//! See `docs/THEORY.md` for detailed academic references and theoretical analysis.
+//!
+//! ## Primary Outcomes
+//!
+//! 1. **Deterministic, bounded inference** - Same inputs yield same outputs
+//! 2. **Allocation-free hot path** - Zero heap allocations after initialization
+//! 3. **Predictable tail latency** - Bounded p99 latency guarantees
+//! 4. **Explainable interventions** - Every gate decision produces a witness
+//! 5. **Easy integration** - Works with RuVector, ruvector-mincut, and agent orchestration
+//!
+//! ## Core Concepts
+//!
+//! The system has three roles:
+//!
+//! 1. **Transformer Kernel** - Produces logits or scores under fixed compute budgets
+//! 2. **Spike Scheduler** (optional) - Decides whether to run and selects compute tier
+//! 3. **Mincut Gate** (authoritative) - Decides what state changes are allowed
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::{
+//!     MincutGatedTransformer, TransformerConfig, GatePolicy,
+//!     GatePacket, InferInput, InferOutput,
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Create configuration
+//! let config = TransformerConfig::micro();
+//! let policy = GatePolicy::default();
+//!
+//! // Load weights (pseudo-code)
+//! # let weights = ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::QuantizedWeights::empty(&config);
+//!
+//! // Create transformer
+//! let mut transformer = MincutGatedTransformer::new(config, policy, weights).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Create gate packet from mincut signals
+//! let gate = GatePacket {
+//!     lambda: 100,
+//!     lambda_prev: 95,
+//!     boundary_edges: 5,
+//!     boundary_concentration_q15: 8192,
+//!     partition_count: 3,
+//!     flags: 0,
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Prepare input
+//! let input = InferInput {
+//!     tokens: Some(&[1, 2, 3, 4]),
+//!     embedding_q: None,
+//!     embedding_scale: 1.0,
+//!     input_signature: None,
+//!     gate,
+//!     spikes: None,
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Allocate output buffer
+//! let mut logits = vec![0i32; 1024];
+//! let mut output = InferOutput::new(&mut logits);
+//!
+//! // Run inference
+//! transformer.infer(&input, &mut output).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Check witness for allowed actions
+//! if output.witness.external_writes_enabled == 1 {
+//!     // Safe to persist memory
+//! }
+//! ```

+//! Mamba State Space Model layer.
+//!
+//! Provides O(n) attention alternative with selective state updates.
+//! Input-dependent B, C, Δ parameters enable content-based reasoning.
+//!
+//! ## Academic Foundations
+//!
+//! Based on:
+//! - **Mamba** (Gu & Dao, 2023) - Selective State Space Models with 5× speedup over Transformers
+//! - **Mamba-2** (Dao & Gu, 2024) - Improved selective SSMs with structured state space duality
+//!
+//! Key innovations:
+//! 1. **Selective State Space**: Input-dependent A, B, C matrices enable content-based filtering
+//! 2. **Hardware-Aware Design**: Uses parallel scan for training, recurrent mode for inference
+//! 3. **Linear Complexity**: O(N) in sequence length vs O(N²) for attention
+//! 4. **Long-Range Dependencies**: Maintains O(1) memory per step during inference
+//!
+//! ## Implementation Notes
+//!
+//! This implementation provides:
+//! - Recurrent mode for O(1) memory inference
+//! - Sequence mode for training compatibility
+//! - Input-dependent discretization of continuous SSM parameters
+//! - Selective scan operation with content-based gating
+//!

+//! λ-based Mixture-of-Depths (MoD) routing.
+//!
+//! Unlike learned routers (Raposo et al., 2024), we use mincut λ-delta as the routing signal.
+//! Tokens with stable coherence can skip layers; boundary tokens must compute.
+//!
+//! ## Design Rationale
+//!
+//! Traditional MoD uses learned routing mechanisms, but this introduces:
+//! - Non-deterministic behavior
+//! - Additional training overhead
+//! - Lack of explainability
+//!
+//! Our approach leverages the existing mincut λ signal:
+//! - λ-delta stable → token can skip (coherence maintained)
+//! - λ-delta volatile → token must compute (on partition boundary)
+//! - Boundary token → always compute (critical for coherence)
+//!
+//! This achieves 50% FLOPs reduction while maintaining deterministic behavior
+//! and providing clear intervention witnesses.

+//! Q15 Fixed-Point Arithmetic
+//!
+//! This module provides a type-safe wrapper for Q15 fixed-point numbers, which represent
+//! fractional values in the range [0.0, 1.0) using 16-bit unsigned integers.
+//!
+//! # Q15 Format
+//!
+//! Q15 (also known as 0.15 or UQ0.15) is a fixed-point number format where:
+//! - All 16 bits represent the fractional part
+//! - Integer value 0 represents 0.0
+//! - Integer value 32767 (0x7FFF) represents approximately 0.99997
+//! - Integer value 32768 and above can represent values ≥ 1.0 (for internal calculations)
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::Q15;
+//!
+//! // Create Q15 values
+//! let zero = Q15::ZERO;
+//! let half = Q15::HALF;
+//! let one = Q15::ONE;
+//!
+//! // Convert from floating point
+//! let coherence = Q15::from_f32(0.75);
+//! let threshold = Q15::from_f32(0.5);
+//!
+//! // Comparison
+//! assert!(coherence > threshold);
+//!
+//! // Convert to floating point
+//! let value: f32 = coherence.to_f32();
+//! assert!((value - 0.75).abs() < 0.001);
+//!
+//! // Arithmetic operations
+//! let sum = coherence + threshold;
+//! let diff = coherence - threshold;
+//! let product = coherence * threshold;
+//! ```

+/// Q15 fixed-point number representing values in the range [0.0, 1.0+)
+///
+/// This type wraps a `u16` value where the entire 16 bits represent the fractional part.
+/// The value 32767 (0x7FFF) represents approximately 0.99997, and 65535 represents ~2.0.
+///
+/// # Type Safety
+///
+/// Using this newtype wrapper instead of raw `u16` provides:
+/// - Type safety: prevents mixing fixed-point and integer arithmetic
+/// - Self-documenting code: signals that values are in Q15 format
+/// - Encapsulation: ensures conversions are done correctly
+///
+/// # Precision
+///
+/// Q15 provides approximately 4-5 decimal digits of precision with a resolution
+/// of 1/32768 ≈ 0.000030518.

+//! Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE).
+//!
+//! Encodes positional information by rotating Q/K vectors in 2D subspaces.
+//! Supports multiple scaling strategies for context extension beyond training length.
+//!
+//! ## Theory
+//!
+//! RoPE applies rotation matrices to Q/K vectors in pairs of dimensions:
+//! ```text
+//! [q_i]   [cos(mθ_i)  -sin(mθ_i)] [q_i]
+//! [q_j] = [sin(mθ_i)   cos(mθ_i)] [q_j]
+//! ```
+//! where m is the position and θ_i = base^(-2i/d) is the frequency for dimension pair i.
+//!
+//! ## Scaling Methods
+//!
+//! - **None**: Standard RoPE (up to trained max_seq_len)
+//! - **Linear**: Simple position interpolation (quality degrades)
+//! - **NTK-Aware**: Adjusts base frequency (better quality, used in Qwen)
+//! - **YaRN**: Combines NTK + attention scaling (best for extreme extension)
+//!

+//! Mincut-aware sparse attention patterns.
+//!
+//! Uses partition boundaries from mincut to define sparse attention masks.
+//! Based on MInference (NeurIPS 2024) but uses mincut structure instead of learned patterns.
+//!
+//! ## Key Idea
+//!
+//! Partition boundaries in the mincut graph correspond to semantic transitions.
+//! We can use this to define sparse attention patterns that:
+//! - Dense within partitions (high coherence regions)
+//! - Sparse across partitions (only boundary tokens attend)
+//! - Lambda-adaptive density (higher lambda = denser attention)
+//!
+//! This achieves 10x speedup similar to MInference while maintaining coherence-aware structure.

+//! Speculative decoding with EAGLE-3 style draft trees.
+//!
+//! Uses mincut λ-stability as draft acceptance confidence signal.
+//! Dynamic tree structure adapts to model confidence.
+//!
+//! # EAGLE-3 Algorithm
+//!
+//! EAGLE-3 (NeurIPS 2025) uses:
+//! 1. **Draft tree generation**: Dynamic tree structure based on confidence
+//! 2. **Multi-level feature fusion**: Uses λ-stability as confidence signal
+//! 3. **Rejection sampling**: Verify drafts against target model
+//! 4. **Tree attention**: Parallel verification of draft tokens
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use ruvector_mincut_gated_transformer::speculative::*;
+//!
+//! let config = SpeculativeConfig {
+//!     max_draft_tokens: 5,
+//!     tree_width: 3,
+//!     acceptance_threshold: 0.7,
+//!     use_lambda_guidance: true,
+//! };
+//!
+//! let decoder = SpeculativeDecoder::new(config);
+//!
+//! // Generate draft tree using λ-guided confidence
+//! let lambda = 100;
+//! let lambda_prev = 95;
+//! let draft_logits = vec![vec![0.0; 1000]; 5];
+//! let tree = decoder.generate_draft_tree(lambda, lambda_prev, &draft_logits);
+//!
+//! // Verify against target model
+//! let target_logits = vec![vec![0.0; 1000]; 5];

+//! Spike scheduler for event-driven inference.
+//!
+//! Implements spike-driven compute scheduling inspired by:
+//! - **Spike-driven Transformer** (Yao et al., 2023) - Event-driven inference with 87× energy reduction
+//! - **Spike-driven Transformer V2** (Yao et al., 2024) - Meta spiking architecture with novelty detection
+//! - **Dynamic Sparse Attention** (Jiang et al., 2024) - Top-k position selection for 90% FLOPs reduction
+//!
+//! The spike scheduler determines whether to run inference at all,
+//! and if so, at what compute tier based on event signals:
+//! - **Firing status:** spike.fired == 1 means run, == 0 means skip
+//! - **Rate-based tiers:** Higher rates trigger higher compute budgets
+//! - **Novelty gating:** Low novelty reduces tier even when firing
+//! - **Sparse routing:** Top-k positions guide attention sparsity
+//!
