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.

Nova Protocol Formal Model
Models protocol/nova/nova.go -- linear blockchain consensus mode.
Nova wraps Ray (linear decision engine) and provides blockchain semantics.
It is the simplest consensus mode: blocks form a chain, decided sequentially.
Maps to:
- nova.go: Nova struct wrapping ray.Driver
- nova.go: Config{SampleSize, Alpha, Beta, RoundTO, GenesisHash}
- nova.go: NewNova, Start, Stop, Status
Nova delegates all consensus logic to Ray, which delegates voting to Wave.
The composition: Nova -> Ray -> Wave -> Prism (sampling)
Properties:
- Chain property: decided blocks form a valid chain (parent links)
- Genesis: genesis block is always the first decided block
- Height monotonicity: block heights are strictly increasing
