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.

%% ===================================================================
%% LP-134 canonical naming (2025-12-15):
%% Per LP-134 (Lux Chain Topology), T-Chain has been split into:
%% M-Chain — MPC ceremonies for bridge custody of EXTERNAL wallets
%% (CGGMP21, FROST, Pulsar-general)
%% F-Chain — FHE compute + TFHE bootstrap-key generation (encrypted EVM)
%% T-Chain is REMOVED entirely; teleport is B-Chain (bridgevm, LP-6000). No teleportvm.
%% Where this paper says "F-Chain MPC" / "F-Chain threshold governance" /
%% "F-Chain TFHE" / "F-Chain custody", read as M-Chain (MPC) or F-Chain (FHE).

\begin{abstract}
We formalize Lux Network as a \emph{trust kernel}: a minimal on-chain substrate that
provides identity binding, key lifecycle policy, threshold governance, and tamper-evident
receipts---without storing application data on-chain. The trust kernel model inverts the
common blockchain-as-database pattern. Applications retain full data sovereignty in local
encrypted vaults (capsules) while delegating exactly four concerns to the chain:
(i)~globally-unique identity via decentralized identifiers (\texttt{did:lux:*}),
(ii)~key registration and rotation policy on the K-Chain,
(iii)~quorum-controlled reveal and treasury approval on the F-Chain with TFHE policy
evaluation and CKKS confidential compute,
and (iv)~multi-party threshold signatures on the M-Chain via FROST and CGGMP21.
Every state transition produces a cryptographic receipt anchored on-chain, enabling
provider-independent auditability. We define the trust kernel formally, prove that it
preserves capsule sovereignty under Byzantine fault tolerance assumptions, and show
that the architecture enables cross-capsule coordination (key exchange, capability
delegation, threshold approval) without revealing plaintext to any single party.
All critical protocols are verified in Lean~4 against mechanized proofs for
consensus safety, FROST unforgeability, CGGMP21 threshold composition, and
trust authority delegation.
\textbf{Keywords}: trust kernel, decentralized identity, threshold governance,
key policy, receipt anchoring, post-quantum cryptography, TFHE, CKKS, FROST, CGGMP21
