+FHRR-RNS Encoder: Compositional observation encoding via Vector Symbolic Architecture.
+
+Replaces Morton codes. Instead of an opaque integer, observations become
+high-dimensional complex phasor vectors that support:
+
+  BINDING:    a ⊙ b  = element-wise multiply   → "a WITH b"
+  BUNDLING:   a + b  = element-wise add         → "a OR b"  
+  UNBINDING:  z ⊙ a⁻¹ ≈ b  (if z = a ⊙ b)     → "what was bound with a?"
+  SIMILARITY: cos(a, b) → 0 if unrelated, → 1 if same
+
+The Fractional Holographic Reduced Representation (FHRR) uses complex
+phasors: each element is e^(iθ) on the unit circle. Binding is element-wise
+multiplication of phasors (angle addition). Unbinding is conjugation.
+
+Position encoding uses the Residue Number System (RNS):
+  For co-prime moduli m₁, m₂, ..., mₖ:
+    encode(x) = g₁^(x mod m₁) ⊙ g₂^(x mod m₂) ⊙ ... ⊙ gₖ^(x mod mₖ)
+  
+  where gᵢ are fixed random phasor codebooks.
+
+Properties (proven in Frady et al. 2021, arXiv:2406.18808):
+  - Exponential coding range: M = ∏ mᵢ
+  - Near-orthogonal: E[cos(encode(x), encode(y))] ≈ 0 for x ≠ y
+  - Similarity-preserving: similar inputs → correlated vectors
+  - Path integration: encode(x) ⊙ encode(y) = encode(x + y)
+  - Invertible: unbind to recover components

+Hierarchical Predictive Coding Circuit (NGC).
+
+This is what was missing. Each layer maintains a belief about its hidden
+state and PREDICTS the layer below. The difference between prediction and
+actual input is the prediction error. Errors propagate upward. Predictions
+propagate downward. The system settles when errors are minimized.
+
+This is Friston's Free Energy Principle implemented as it was meant to be:
+not as a flat POMDP solver, but as a hierarchical generative model where
+each level explains away the residuals of the level below.
+
+The energy functional (from Ororbia & Kelly, arXiv:2310.15177):
+
+    ℱ(Θ) = Σ_ℓ (1 / 2Σℓ) Σᵢ (zℓᵢ(t) - z̄ℓᵢ)²
+
+Where:
+    zℓ      = actual state at layer ℓ  
+    z̄ℓ      = W^ℓ · φ(z^{ℓ+1})  = prediction from layer above
+    eℓ      = (1/Σℓ)(zℓ - z̄ℓ)    = precision-weighted prediction error
+    Σℓ      = precision (confidence) at layer ℓ
+
+State dynamics (settling toward VFE minimum):
+    τ · ∂zℓ/∂t = -γ·zℓ + dℓ ⊙ fD(zℓ) - eℓ
+    where dℓ = Eℓ · e^{ℓ-1}  (feedback error from below)
+
+Synaptic update (Hebbian, local, no backprop):
+    ΔWℓ = eℓ⁻¹ · (zℓ)ᵀ     (prediction errors × pre-synaptic activity)
+
+This is ALL local computation. No gradient chain. Each layer only needs
+its own state, the prediction from above, and the error from below.
