Validate FractionalPowerEncoder against theoretical predictions from Frady et al. (2021).

This script empirically tests the key theoretical claims: 1. Inner product convergence to sinc kernel for uniform phase distribution 2. Dimensionality dependence of convergence 3. Bandwidth scaling effects 4. Similarity properties (symmetry, self-similarity)
