+//! Quantum-Inspired Cognitive Superposition Research
+//!
+//! This library implements Cognitive Amplitude Field Theory (CAFT), a novel framework
+//! for modeling cognition and consciousness using quantum formalism with classical computation.
+//!
+//! # Key Concepts
+//!
+//! - **Cognitive states** are complex-valued amplitude vectors in Hilbert space
+//! - **Thoughts evolve** via unitary operators (Schrödinger equation)
+//! - **Decisions emerge** from amplitude interference (constructive/destructive)
+//! - **Attention acts** as measurement operator, collapsing superposition
+//! - **Consciousness** is integrated information in amplitude field
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use quantum_cognition::{CognitiveState, InterferenceDecisionMaker, AttentionOperator};
+//! use num_complex::Complex64;
+//!
+//! // Create superposition of thoughts
+//! let psi = CognitiveState::new(
+//!     vec![Complex64::new(0.6, 0.0), Complex64::new(0.0, 0.8)],
+//!     vec!["option_A".to_string(), "option_B".to_string()]
+//! );
+//!
+//! // Calculate probabilities via Born rule
+//! let probs = psi.probabilities();
+//! println!("P(A) = {}, P(B) = {}", probs[0], probs[1]);
+//!
+//! // Measure (collapse superposition)
+//! let (outcome, collapsed, prob) = psi.measure();
+//! println!("Measured: {} with probability {}", outcome, prob);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Modules
+//!
+//! - `quantum_cognitive_state`: Core amplitude vector representation
+//! - `interference_decision`: Decision-making via amplitude interference
+//! - `collapse_attention`: Attention as quantum measurement
+//!
+//! # Research Status
+//!
+//! This is experimental research code implementing theoretical frameworks from:
+//! - Busemeyer & Bruza (quantum cognition)
+//! - Penrose & Hameroff (Orch-OR consciousness)
+//! - Tononi (Integrated Information Theory)
+//!
+//! **Not for production use** - for research and validation only.
