zeekay f4ee7a0525 Publish under the org, not a person
Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under
each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the
work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and
research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories
already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined.

Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay
named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads,
PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to
whoever the cited paper names.

Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use
elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

\begin{abstract}
We present Lux Interchain Transfer Protocol (LITP), a trustless mechanism for transferring tokens between Lux Network appchains and external blockchains (Ethereum, Cosmos, Bitcoin). LITP combines two complementary approaches: (i)~intra-ecosystem transfers between Lux appchains use Warp Messaging with BLS aggregate signatures, achieving sub-second finality and 48-byte proofs; and (ii)~cross-ecosystem transfers to external chains use light client verification, where the destination chain maintains a light client of the source chain and verifies block headers and state proofs. We formalize the security model for both modes, proving that intra-ecosystem transfers inherit the $2/3$-stake security of appchain consensus and that cross-ecosystem transfers are secure under the light client's trust assumptions (honest majority of the tracked validator set). The protocol supports lock-and-mint, burn-and-release, and native token transfer patterns. We introduce a novel finality gadget that allows external chains to verify Lux finality without running a full Lux node, using BLS aggregate signatures over finalized block headers. We prove atomic transfer properties---either both the source lock and destination mint succeed, or neither does---under standard asynchronous network assumptions. Benchmarks show that Lux-to-Ethereum transfers complete in under 15 minutes (Ethereum finality bound) and Lux-to-Lux appchain transfers complete in under 4 seconds.
