Hard-Constrained Bernstein Memory Head

Add a causal memory branch whose lag-response function is represented by a Bernstein polynomial with coefficients constrained to produce a nonnegative, decreasing, convex kernel. The branch aggregates past hidden states using this kernel, giving the model a learnable long-memory profile while preventing oscillatory, negative, or increasing historical influence.

Metric-magnitude pooling

Replace mean or max pooling over a set of learned element embeddings with pooling based on the metric-magnitude weighting. Pairwise distances create a globally coupled correction for redundancy, so geometrically isolated or boundary elements can contribute differently from dense clusters of nearly duplicate elements.
