🔬 Core Algorithm (Ψ-Hyperbasis)

// Core rational transformation
Ψ(x) = x / (1 + (3/8)x²)

// sin(x) approximation
sin(x) ≈ Ψ ⋅ (1 - a1⋅Ψ² + a2⋅Ψ⁴ - a3⋅Ψ⁶)

// cos(x) approximation
cos(x) ≈ 1 - b1⋅Ψ² + b2⋅Ψ⁴ - b3⋅Ψ⁶

This allows both functions to share a unified base, optimizing performance and memory access.
