"""v11: top-k binary attention (ternary {-1,0,+1} attention matrix). Issue 1 isolation test. Exactly v3 architecture except the attention matrix A selects only the top-k positions per query (ternary: {-1,0,+1} where 0 = ignore). Hypothesis: if the POC plateau at 3.20 BPC is caused by binary attention's inability to express selective sparsity, then restoring sparse selection via top-k should close most of the v3→v4 gap (0.48 BPC) while adding only the minimal concession of ternary attention weights (per-position A ∈ {−1, 0, +1}). Everything else (weights, Q/K/V/O projections, FFN, residuals, embeddings) stays strict ±1.
