Centro-affine spherical smoothness regularizer

Add a centro-affine Dirichlet penalty to a neural module whose inputs or outputs lie on a sphere, such as normalized embeddings or attention directions. The penalty measures intrinsic variation under an unconditional convex-body metric while projecting out the constant and coordinate-affine modes excluded by the theorem.

Higher-Order Coactivation Envelope

Convert an attention or MoE routing affinity matrix into a soft graph and constrain its K_r-density relative to its observed K_s-density. The regularizer penalizes pathological affinity patterns in which moderate s-way coactivation is accompanied by an implausibly low or unstable r-way coactivation.
