+SENTINEL NEURAL TANGENT KERNEL (S-NTK)
+================================================================================
+
+Theory: For infinite-width neural networks with Sentinel activation
+σ(x) = x·sech(x/e), the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) at initialization
+converges to a sech-based kernel.
+
+Key Innovation: The gradient bound lim F'/F = 1/e provides a THEORETICAL
+guarantee on the NTK's eigenvalue decay rate, which controls generalization.
