ID: f-p8-decay-deficit
Type: f

H5. Accumulate as the baseline does, then decay by the SUPPORT DEFICIT of the strongest evidence
that arrived.

THE RULE. Let s be the largest support among the applications that fired here this time step and
smax the reference support; the position decays by lsa_sub(smax, s), floored at 0. Evidence as well
supported as the best-supported pattern in the model does not decay; evidence seen half as often
loses one LSA unit per time step. In LSA a rate of one in 2^d IS a subtraction of d, so a fall-off
written this way is a rate, and this alternative sets it from the pattern.

AS BUILT. smax is the largest learned weight over the k=1 argmax pairs and the kept k=2 rules,
floored at 1: 2 at e64, 6 at e1k, 9 at e10k. A pattern's own support is the LEARNED weight --
c1[a*256 + table[a]] for k=1, the stored weight for k=2.

Deterministic: it draws no entropy of its own. Support is read from the learned tables, which under
B1 are in memory but NOT in the model file; under the D1 baseline settling never runs at decode time
so this is measurable as it stands, and combining it with D2 or D3 would need the support serialized.

HISTORY.
Generation 5, A4's idea (#f-p8-deficit) restated on the cap-8 delivery, and the restatement removes
a defect that was inside A4 rather than beside it: there a k=1 pattern simultaneously DELIVERED at
the absolute 255 and had a rate set by a support of 0, 1 or 2 -- maximally strong and minimally
supported in the same time step, which is not a design but the k=1 strength gap showing up inside an
alternative. The delivery is now 8 on its own axis and the rate is set here, and the two can be read
separately for the first time.

WHY.
The reference support smax is a sub-parameter, not a decision this block makes; 255 as the reference
makes the deficit 253 or 254 at these samples and annihilates everything, which is the failure
already recorded against w_p - (255 - w_s) in #f-p8.
