+//! - **Workspace capacity**: 4-7 items (Miller's Law)
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ## Basic Coherence Routing
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use ruvector_nervous_system::routing::{OscillatoryRouter, Representation, GlobalWorkspace};
+//!
+//! // Create 40Hz gamma-band router
+//! let mut router = OscillatoryRouter::new(5, 40.0);
+//!
+//! // Advance oscillator dynamics
+//! for _ in 0..1000 {
+//!     router.step(0.001); // 1ms time steps
+//! }
+//!
+//! // Route message based on phase coherence
+//! let message = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0];
+//! let receivers = vec![1, 2, 3];
+//! let routed = router.route(&message, 0, &receivers);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Predictive Bandwidth Reduction
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use ruvector_nervous_system::routing::PredictiveLayer;
+//!
+//! let mut layer = PredictiveLayer::new(128, 0.2);
+//!
+//! // Only transmits when prediction error exceeds 20%
+//! let signal = vec![0.5; 128];
+//! if let Some(residual) = layer.residual_gated_write(&signal) {
+//!     // Transmit residual (surprise)
+//!     println!("Transmitting residual");
+//! } else {
+//!     // No transmission needed (predictable)
+//!     println!("Signal predicted - no transmission");
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Global Workspace Broadcast
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use ruvector_nervous_system::routing::{GlobalWorkspace, Representation};
+//!
+//! let mut workspace = GlobalWorkspace::new(7); // 7-item capacity
+//!
+//! // Compete for broadcast access
+//! let rep1 = Representation::new(vec![1.0], 0.8, 0u16, 0);
+//! let rep2 = Representation::new(vec![2.0], 0.3, 1u16, 0);
+//!
+//! workspace.broadcast(rep1); // High salience - accepted
+//! workspace.broadcast(rep2); // Low salience - may be rejected
+//!
+//! // Run competitive dynamics
+//! workspace.compete();
+//!
+//! // Retrieve winning representations
+//! let winners = workspace.retrieve_top_k(3);
+//! ```
