Create a polished ICLR-style Figure 1 for an imaginary method called "Hierarchical Memory Routing for Long-Context Multimodal Reasoning (HMR)". The top band shows the failure mode of naive long-context multimodal processing: one overcrowded horizontal token stream mixing text, image patches, retrieved documents, tool traces, and audio snippets, with red-orange warning accents for interference, attention dilution, memory collision, and quadratic compute cost. A clean horizontal divider separates the main lower panel, which presents the HMR framework as a spacious modular loop. Center: a Reasoning Controller with stages Observe_t to Update_t. Left: a three-level Memory Hierarchy with working cache, episodic memory, and semantic knowledge base. Right: Multimodal Streams entering selectively through routing paths. Bottom right: sparse experts activated only when needed. White background, vector-clean styling, neutral gray plus cool accents, minimal but legible labels, conference-paper clarity, no poster aesthetics.
