Meta-context [Recursive Parser Note]:
This commit provides the full draft for the Systems & Hardware pillar of the PhD thesis. It formally exposes why synchronous CPU-side cryptographic hashing introduces a 30x PCIe starvation bottleneck, and why unfused secondary softmax injections shatter FlashAttention SRAM constraints. It details the v3 hardware solutions: Asynchronous Merkle Validation and the custom fused PagedFieldprintAttention Triton kernel.

Established the structural foundation for the three distinct academic papers composing the Fieldprint Thesis. Paper 1 (Epistemic Capture) tackles Alignment/Security. Paper 2 (PagedFieldprintAttention) tackles Systems/Hardware. Paper 3 (Functorial Geodesics) tackles Pure Mathematics.
