//! Pragmatic information gating for SOSA backplane efficiency.
//!
//! ## Theoretical Basis: Pragmatic Information (Atlan & Cohen 1998)
//!
//! Pragmatic information P is defined as information that changes the state
//! of a receiving system — it is the subset of Shannon information I(X) that
//! actually alters the receiver's behaviour or belief state.  Unlike syntactic
//! entropy, pragmatic information is *zero* when the receiver already knows
//! the content (redundant messages) and *zero* when the message is entirely
//! unpredictable (pure noise with nowhere to go).  It peaks at the edge of
//! the receiver's model capacity.
//!
//! **SOSA Backplane Gating:** The SOSA.MORA backplane resource is scarce.
//! DSFB applies pragmatic gating: only emit a grammar observation if it
//! carries pragmatic value — i.e. the grammar entropy has *changed* by more
//! than the gating threshold Δh.  This eliminates redundant Admissible-state
//! heartbeats (typically > 99% of samples) while preserving all state-
//! transition events.
//!
//! **Urgency Override:** When the grammar state is Violation or urgency ≥ 1.0,
//! the gate is bypassed: every sample is emitted regardless of redundancy.
//!
