Design a lifecycle state machine for managing neural module growth, training, and integration

# Design Module Lifecycle

Help design a state machine for managing neural module lifecycles - the states, transitions, gates, and controllers that orchestrate dynamic architecture.

## Design Process

### Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask about the use case:

1. **Module types**: What kinds of modules will have lifecycles?
   - Seed modules (grow and graft)
   - Expert modules (MoE routing)
   - Prunable components (dynamic sparsity)

2. **Lifecycle scope**: What phases matter?
   - Creation/instantiation
   - Isolated training
   - Integration/blending
   - Evaluation/holding
   - Permanen...
