#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ cdm_model_v2.py — Competitive Docking Memory V2 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.
