"""A map of what the literature is missing, built from the indexed corpus alone.

Retrieval answers "what exists". This module answers the complementary question:
for a region of the embedding space, *why* is nothing there. Three kinds of absence
are distinguishable from the fields the index already stores and are not the same
thing at all:

- **null-saturated** — the work was done and came back null or inconclusive. An idea
  landing here is not novel, it is refuted, and the refutations are usually
  uncited, which is exactly why a reader (or a language model summarising the top
  ten hits) concludes the question is open.
- **dark** — trials completed, results never reported. Absence of a paper, not
  absence of evidence.
- **gap** — no work between two populated regions. A combination the neighbouring
  literature implies but nobody has run.

Regions are clusters of real documents, so they can only describe where work exists.
Gaps therefore come from *interpolation*: the midpoint between two nearby region
centroids is a point the literature implies but may never have occupied, and its
cosine to the nearest real paper measures how unoccupied it is. Nothing here calls
an LLM or Elasticsearch, and no score is a probability: every number is a count, a
share of counts, or a cosine.
