//! Dentate gyrus model combining sparse projection and k-winners-take-all
//!
//! The dentate gyrus is the input layer of the hippocampus responsible for
//! pattern separation - creating orthogonal representations from similar inputs.

/// Dentate gyrus pattern separation encoder
///
/// Combines sparse random projection with k-winners-take-all sparsification
/// to create collision-resistant, orthogonal vector encodings.
///
/// # Biological Inspiration
///
/// The dentate gyrus expands cortical representations ~4-5x (EC: 200K → DG: 1M neurons)
/// and uses extremely sparse coding (~2% active) to minimize pattern overlap.
///
/// # Properties
///
/// - Input → Output expansion (typically 128D → 10000D)
/// - 2-5% sparsity (k-winners-take-all)
/// - Collision rate < 1% on diverse inputs
/// - Fast encoding: <500μs for typical inputs
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use ruvector_nervous_system::DentateGyrus;
///
/// let dg = DentateGyrus::new(128, 10000, 200, 42);
/// let input = vec![1.0; 128];
/// let sparse_code = dg.encode(&input);
/// ```
