    1. expA+expB: NEGATIVE results — no pageable/cacheable dynamic sparsity on dense SwiGLU
      …
      expA kill: 77% of 64-neuron blocks for 95% energy; expB kill: 99.9%
union at 128 tokens, Jaccard ~ random null. Fine-grained escalation
routes all closed; evidence selects C1->C2 merge (batch-amortized
margin-gated refinement).

    2. expA+expB: FFN block-energy trace campaign (concentration + temporal stability)
      …
      Shared instrumented pass: down_proj-input block energies per token/layer;
expA measures concentration vs uniform null; expB measures Jaccard decay,
union working sets, random null, and expC-lite domain locality.
