Routing selects; residency is policy
A mixture-of-experts model touches a sliver of its routed banks per token — top-k of hundreds. VINDEX3 stores experts as addressable banks in grouped extents, so a profile decides what stays resident, what pages in, and what never loads: how a model larger than memory still decodes. The routing is the model's; the residency is yours.
