zeekayandHanzo Dev 638fba4c90 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.

Consensus Safety Proof
Theorem: No two honest nodes finalize conflicting values at the same height.
This models the Lux consensus core as a state machine:
- Nodes hold preferences and confidence counters
- Each round: sample k peers, threshold vote, update confidence
- Finalization: confidence reaches beta consecutive rounds
The proof follows the standard metastable BFT argument:
1. If honest majority prefers v, alpha threshold ensures v wins the round
2. Consecutive wins accumulate confidence toward beta
3. Once finalized, no honest node can switch preference (confidence monotonicity)
4. Therefore two honest nodes cannot finalize different values
Maps to Go code:
- core/consensus.go: Block interface (ID, Height, Verify, Accept, Reject)
- protocol/wave/wave.go: Wave.Tick (sampling, threshold, confidence)
- protocol/wave/fpc/fpc.go: FPC threshold selection
- core/types/: Decision enum (Undecided, Commit, Skip)

Key invariant: finalization requires beta consecutive rounds with
alpha-threshold majority. If alpha > 2k/3 and honest majority holds,
then at most one value can achieve alpha threshold in any round.
This is the crux: with k samples from n nodes where f < n/3 are Byzantine,
at most one value can get alpha >= ceil(2k/3) votes in a single round,
because honest nodes have a single preference.

Finalization window overlap: if two nodes finalize in the same epoch,
their beta-length confirmation windows must share at least one round.
This is the pigeonhole argument that connects finalization to unique_threshold.

Main Safety Theorem
If two honest nodes finalize values at the same height,
those values must be identical.
Derived from unique_threshold + finalization_windows_overlap:
1. Both finalized → windows overlap in some round (axiom)
2. In that round, both achieved alpha (from overlap)
3. By unique_threshold, v1 = v2
