Complementary-Channel Switched Latent Observer

Replace ordinary modality-specific residual fusion with a switched observer whose latent correction depends on the currently available channel. The individual channels are allowed to be insufficient to reconstruct the latent state; stability is enforced over the full switching cycle, so complementary intermittent observations can jointly maintain a stable representation.

Information-Gated Attention

Use predicted covariance reduction as a differentiable gate for selecting tokens, views, sensors, or retrieved demonstrations. The gate favors inputs with high expected information gain while accounting for acquisition cost, turning attention and data collection into active observability optimization.
