NuoNuo: Hippocampal memory module prototype

Hopfield + Hebbian hybrid memory system for LLMs.
Two nights of experiments (16 iterations), validated on LongMemEval (ICLR 2025).

Architecture:
- Single-hop: Two-Stage Hopfield (NN top-20 → softmax settle)
- Multi-hop: Hebbian W matrix with WTA pattern separation
- 64% on LongMemEval (500 questions), retrieval-only, no LLM dependency
- 4ms latency @ 20K memories, ~1GB VRAM

Key findings:
- Hopfield attention solved noise tolerance (20% → 100% vs flat Hebbian)
- WTA pattern separation enables 20K+ capacity
- Multi-hop associative chains (6 hops, CosSim=1.0) — RAG can't do this
- MiniLM-L6 is optimal (discrimination gap > absolute similarity)
- Paraphrase cue augmentation: 55% → 100% on synthetic, 36% → 64% on benchmark
- SNN encoder viable (CosSim 0.99) but not needed for current architecture
