Branching-Fanout Sparse MoE

Replace a fixed top-k expert count with a stochastic, token-specific fanout generated by a supercritical binary branching process stopped at a geometric time. The resulting number of active experts has finite mean but a power-law tail with log-periodic modulation, allowing most tokens to use little compute while reserving larger computation for difficult or ambiguous tokens.

Golden-Ratio Constrained Weight Storage

Store quantized magnitudes as finite golden-ratio digit strings satisfying the no-adjacent-ones constraint, rather than as unconstrained binary words. A local rewrite pass converts equivalent but invalid patterns such as 011 into 100, making illegal adjacent-one patterns detectable after memory faults while preserving the represented scalar. This is a storage-integrity and decoding scheme, not a claim that canonicalization alone can correct arbitrary bit flips.
