1//! Information-theoretic complexity estimation for residual trajectories.
2//!
3//! ## Theoretical Basis: Minimum Description Length (MDL)
4//!
5//! DSFB can be framed as an Online Kolmogorov Complexity Estimator operating
6//! under the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle. The core insight:
7//!
8//! - A residual trajectory from a healthy system is **compressible**: it can
9//! be described as "Gaussian noise with parameters (μ, σ)" — a short description.
10//! - A residual trajectory undergoing structural change is **incompressible**
11//! under the nominal model: the excess description length signals that the
12//! residual has left the ergodic regime of the nominal model.
13//!
14//! A grammar state of "Violation" corresponds to an un-modeled innovation
15//! that collapses signal ergodicity — the residual trajectory can no longer
16//! be efficiently described by the calibration-window model.
17//!
18//! ## Practical Implementation
19//!
20//! We estimate trajectory complexity via a windowed normalized entropy metric
21//! rather than true Kolmogorov complexity (which is uncomputable). The
22//! `NormalizedComplexity` score measures how much the residual trajectory's
23//! distribution deviates from the calibration-window distribution, using
24//! a histogram-based entropy estimator.
25//!
26//! ## Relationship to DSA Score
27//!
28//! The complexity score provides an information-theoretic anchor for the DSA:
29//! - Low complexity → trajectory is well-described by the nominal model → Admissible
30//! - Rising complexity → the nominal model is losing descriptive power → Boundary
31//! - High complexity → the nominal model cannot describe the trajectory → Violation
32//!
33//! ## Design
34//!
35//! - `no_std`, `no_alloc`, zero `unsafe`
36//! - Fixed-capacity histogram `[u16; BINS]`
37//! - O(1) per observation (bin update + entropy re-estimate)

234///
235/// ## Theoretical Basis: Bandt & Pompe (2002)
236///
237/// PE measures the complexity of a time series by examining the rank-order
238/// (ordinal) structure of consecutive m-tuples, completely ignoring amplitude.
239/// This critical property makes PE significantly more robust to measurement
240/// noise than Shannon entropy on amplitude histograms (Zanin et al. 2012 §III).
241///
242/// PE is uniquely powerful for RF diagnostics because cyclostationary jammers
243/// and low-power periodic structures produce ordinal patterns with a decidedly
244/// non-uniform distribution — detectable even at −20 dB SNR where amplitude
245/// distributions are indistinguishable from thermal noise.
246///
247/// **Normalized PE ∈ [0, 1]:**
248/// - 0.0: maximally ordered — single pattern dominates (strong periodic structure)
249/// - 1.0: maximally disordered — uniform over 3! = 6 patterns (pure AWGN)
