Settling AS Retrieval: Direction A for PC-SHO-DLM + MSA Integration

The core idea: settling doesn't just optimize prediction errors -- it
simultaneously optimizes document retrieval quality. The augmented energy:

    E_t^MSA(h) = E_t(h) + mu * L_route(h, M)

where L_route pushes hidden states toward configurations that select the
most relevant documents from the memory bank.

During settling, the SHO dynamics now follow gradients of BOTH the
predictive-coding energy AND the routing loss. This means:
- Hidden states that produce better predictions also produce better retrievals
- Retrieval quality improves monotonically over settling steps
- No separate retrieval step needed -- settling IS retrieval

The routing loss has two components:
1. Entropy regularization: push routing scores toward decisive selections
2. Contrastive push: increase separation between top-k and bottom scores
