Finite-horizon Lyapunov regularization for neural updates

Add a loss term requiring a neural optimizer or recurrent module to decrease a nonnegative Lyapunov-like energy over M update steps, rather than forcing monotonic one-step decrease. The term includes an empirically estimated mismatch allowance, so stochastic or delayed updates are tolerated while persistent instability remains penalized.
