Mechanism confirmed, baseline not beaten
Finite-Splitting Directional Attention MVP

The script writes results.json and prints:
- exact geometric lacunarity-ratio verification;
- exact binary M-adic tree leaf/path split counts;
- dense 32-direction line responses;
- a proxy-guided top-2 sparse target approximation;
- random top-2 comparison;
- directional target-sample reduction and approximation error.
Important interpretation: the prototype uses a radius-1 line response as a routing proxy and a radius-2 response as the expensive target. The proxy currently evaluates all directions, so the 16x reduction is only in expensive target directional samples, not demonstrated end-to-end latency. In addition, with M=2, 32 distinct leaves require at least ceil(log2(32))=5 splitting vertices on a route; the requested N=3 and K=32 are incompatible for a full binary tree unless a larger branching factor or fewer leaves is used.
