zeekay 21038c00b9 papers: add named-competitor comparison-table scaffolds + repro spec to 5 benchmark papers
Add explicit, literature-backed comparison scaffolds to:
- lux-pq-consensus-benchmarks (sec 09): vs Mysticeti-C, HotStuff/-2, Tendermint, Snowman
- lux-quasar-benchmarks (sec 15): vs Mysticeti-C, HotStuff-2, CometBFT, Snowman, TowerBFT
- lux-fhe-benchmarks (sec 12): vs TFHE-rs, Concrete, OpenFHE, Microsoft SEAL
- lux-zap-benchmarks (sec 14): vs Protobuf, FlatBuffers, Cap'n Proto, gRPC, QUIC, JSON-RPC
- evmgpu-benchmark (sec 13): vs geth, reth, erigon, evmone, Block-STM, pevm

Lux/competitor columns explicitly marked [TBD-measure] where not yet
benchmarked against the competitor's own published harness. Every
competitor cell is sourced to a cited paper, repo benchmark, or
vendor doc. Each scaffold ends with a Reproducibility spec
(hardware, software pins, commands, decision rule) for the actual
controlled run.

No invented Lux numbers; existing internal numbers retained but
flagged as not-yet-apples-to-apples vs literature.

\begin{abstract}
\noindent We present Lux, a hybrid post-quantum consensus architecture for DAG-native chains. Lux separates fast operational finality from durable post-quantum finality. Validators emit Photons over a Nebula DAG substrate; classical BLS aggregates form Beams for low-latency confirmation, while ML-DSA attestations and Pulsar lattice-threshold Pulses provide post-quantum finality over Nebula roots. Prism binds all certificate lanes to the same transcript, and Quasar reaches Horizon finality when the bound lanes verify.
\textbf{This report.} We aggregate measured numbers from the shipping Lux stack at the Mar-3 freeze (\texttt{v0.1.0-rc1-pq-consensus-freeze}). Microbenchmarks cover sign and verify per scheme (BLS, Ed25519, secp256k1, ML-DSA-44/65/87, SLH-DSA-192f, Pulsar, Lens). Reshare benchmarks cover LSS-Pulsar and LSS-Lens at sizes $\{3, 7, 21, 64, 128\}$. We report Pulsar activation-cert latency, Warp 2.0 envelope verify, and the full Prism composition verify (Beam + ML-DSA + Pulse). GPU acceleration headroom is quantified from existing FHE benchmarks \cite{luxfhebenchmarks} and Lens curve-mul benches. A projected $K=21$ cross-WAN Pulse latency table closes the report. All numbers are from the shipping Go canonical (\texttt{github.com/luxfi/pulsar}, \texttt{github.com/luxfi/lens}, \texttt{github.com/luxfi/threshold}, \texttt{github.com/luxfi/consensus}, \texttt{github.com/luxfi/warp}) on Apple M1 Max single core unless otherwise noted; reproduction commands are listed alongside each table.
