//! Sphere-tangent behavioral embedding — the geometry layer of the Rung-2
//! two-block manifold-SAE fit (behavior as a jointly-fitted data block).
//!
//! # The map
//!
//! Each token carries, besides its activation `x_i`, a behavioral summary
//! `p_i` — a next-token distribution over a (possibly restricted) token set of
//! size `V`. The statistical-manifold half-density map
//!
//! ```text
//!   q_i = sqrt(p_i),        ‖q_i‖₂ = 1   (since Σ_j p_ij = 1),
//! ```
//!
//! sends each distribution to a point on the unit sphere `S^{V-1}`. On that
//! sphere the ambient Euclidean geometry is *locally the behavioral geometry*:
//! for a small displacement `Δq` in the tangent space,
//!
//! ```text
//!   KL(p ‖ p+dp) ≈ ½ Σ_j dp_j² / p_j = 2 ‖Δq‖²                           (★)
//! ```
//!
//! (using `dq = dp/(2√p)`), so *ordinary least squares distance in `q`-space is
//! nats*. This is the whole reason to fit behavior on the sphere: the same
//! quadratic reconstruction loss the activation block already minimizes measures
//! KL in the behavior block, with no bespoke likelihood.
//!
//! # The tangent chart
//!
//! We linearize the sphere at a single data-derived basepoint `q̄` (the
//! *extrinsic mean*: the normalized Euclidean mean of the rows, a closed-form,
//! deterministic reference — no Karcher iteration). The behavioral coordinate of
//! a row is the tangential component of its chord to `q̄`, expressed in an
//! orthonormal basis `E` (`V × (V-1)`) of the tangent hyperplane `T_{q̄}S =
//! {v : v·q̄ = 0}`, and scaled by `√2` so that, by (★), squared Euclidean length
//! in the coordinate *is* nats:
//!
//! ```text
//!   c_i = Eᵀ q_i,          y_i = √2 · c_i,        ‖y_i‖² = 2‖c_i‖² ≈ KL.
//! ```
//!
//! (`Eᵀ q̄ = 0`, so `Eᵀ(I − q̄q̄ᵀ) = Eᵀ` and the tangential projection is just
//! `Eᵀ q_i`.) The reduction to the `V-1`-dimensional `E`-basis (rather than
//! keeping an ambient `V`-vector with a null direction along `q̄`) makes the
//! behavior decoder identifiable: there is no unfittable radial column.
//!
//! # Exact round-trip
//!
//! Because `{q̄} ∪ columns(E)` is a complete orthonormal basis of `ℝ^V` and
//! `‖q_i‖ = 1`, the radial component is recoverable from the tangent coordinate:
//! `(q̄·q_i)² = 1 − ‖c_i‖²`. On the near hemisphere (`q̄·q_i > 0`, where every
//! non-degenerate behavioral row lands) the decode
//!
//! ```text
//!   q = √(1 − ‖c‖²) · q̄ + E c,        p = q ⊙ q,        c = y/√2,
//! ```
//!
//! inverts the embedding exactly — [`SphereTangentEmbedding::decode`] recovers
//! the original distribution to machine precision. This is what lets a
//! downstream consumer (Rung 3) turn a *decoded* behavior point on a fitted
//! chart back into an honest distribution and measure realized KL.
//!
//! Everything here is a closed-form linear map plus an elementwise square root;
//! no autodiff, no finite differences, no magic constants (the `√2` and the
//! `q = √p` map are the exact geometry of (★), documented above).
