NN.Floats.Interval

This folder collects interval / enclosure utilities used across TorchLean:

• proof-friendly interval enclosures for rounding-on-ℝ formats (e.g. FP32),
• quantized intervals (endpoints snapped to a chosen NeuralFloat/Flocq-style grid),
• executable IEEE-754 endpoint intervals (IEEE32Exec) for debugging and runtime experiments. (including soundness theorems and an optional Arb oracle backend for transcendentals).

Design note: we keep the interval API here in NN/Floats so it can be reused by both verification (NN/MLTheory/CROWN/*) and numerical-model code (NN/Floats/*) without creating unnecessary dependency cycles.
