AMOR: Adaptive Metacognitive Output Router.

A post-hoc hybrid architecture that gates attention by output prediction entropy.
A recurrent backbone (Mamba-2 or Gated DeltaNet) is followed by K stacked AMOR
blocks; each block measures the entropy of softmax(lm_head(h)) and, where the
backbone is uncertain, fires causal self-attention to refine the residual stream.

    Input -> [Backbone Mixer + SwiGLU MLP] x N -> [AMOR Block] x K -> Norm -> LM Head
                                                       |
                                               Entropy Gate  (fire if uncertain)
                                                       |
                                                   Attention  (Q,K,V from residual)

The 6 architecture variants are flag combinations of a single class:

    backbone        in {'mamba2', 'gdn'}        # recurrent mixer
    n_amor_blocks   in {1, 3}                   # stack depth
    residual_mode   in {'classic', 'h'}         # block-0 pre-norm placement

K, V are standard linear projections of the residual stream (not SSM internal
state). Training uses dense attention with output masking ('full_with_mask');
'true_sparse' is provided for inference. Each block has its own EntropyGate
(EMA-tracked threshold), Q/K/V/O, RoPE on Q/K, and a per-channel alpha fusion.

        un-normed from the end of the backbone through every AMOR block. All
