+
+V1 finding: non-causal slots_final trick gives identical gradient signal to all
+slots at every position → winner-take-all collapse (6/8 slots dead, K_eff=2).
+
+V2 fixes:
+  1. CAUSAL slots: position t uses slots_t (summary of h[0..t-1]), not slots_final.
+     Each position gets a different gradient signal → routing diversifies.
+
+  2. DUAL attention path:
+     - Standard causal self-attention (sequence tokens only, no slots in KV)
+     - Slot cross-attention: each pos t attends to its K causal slot vectors
+     These two paths are summed before the residual, keeping KV cache clean.
+
+  3. MARGINAL ENTROPY REGULARIZATION:
+     Maximize entropy of marginal slot distribution across positions.
+     Within-position: concentrated (one slot wins per token = specialization)
+     Across-position: diverse (different tokens → different slots = no collapse)
+     Loss: -lambda_ent * H(E_t[g_k(t)]) where H = entropy
+
+  4. K=16 default (optimal from V1 ablation: K=16 beats K=8 by 17%, K=32 degrades)
