mrwulf 0e700841c6 paper v0.11: the paper catches up to the system it built
The freeze rationale is gone (review concluded); v0.11 describes the
LIVE deployment instead of the July snapshot:
- abstract + contributions: nineteen leaves, four Ed25519 corpora at 44
  certs, the accumulator's two attestations, leaf 18 = the SLH-DSA
  verify path; heads dual-signed since size 14 with the parameter set
  the log itself attests
- signed-tree-heads section: the additive deterministic SLH-DSA
  co-signature, ABSENT-not-failed history honesty, determinism as an
  audit primitive, the closed loop to leaf 18
- new instantiation subsection 'The SLH-DSA verify path: the method on
  second terrain': 11 certificates, acceptance characterization, the
  no-second-semantics honesty (visible-not-correct), exact cone
  enforcement, scope (mono facade + 137-case bridge, base_2b, no
  signing)
- deployment/public state: 15 August 2026, root 7ee23940, twelve heads
  8-19, per-leaf narrative through 18
- NEW Appendix E: the eleven SLH-DSA certificates with their exact
  oracle cones — the mirror of Appendix D's Ed25519 tiers
- title: v0.11; site card + snapshot note + paper/README updated
25pp, zero unresolved refs, Appendix E render-inspected by eye; full
test suite green

**`ltl.pdf` / `ltl.tex` — the current paper (v0.11, revised August 2026).**
The review process concluded in August 2026. v0.10 folded in the
corrections queued during the freeze (the closed consistency-verifier
divergence with its `sn = 0` root cause, replay-harness-integrity
limitation, claim-matrix row); v0.11 brings the paper up to the live
system: the nineteen-leaf dual-signed deployment, the SLH-DSA (FIPS 205)
verify-path instantiation, and its certificate appendix. The
version submitted for review (July 17, 2026, sha256 `7f140356…`) is
preserved unchanged in this repository's git history. The live copy at
<https://ltl.zkdefi.org/paper> serves the current revision.
Superseded early drafts (v0.1, v0.2) were removed from the working tree
on 2026-08-15; like every prior state of this folder, they remain
retrievable from this repository's git history.
Revisions v0.3v0.9 were successive overwrites of `ltl.tex`; they live in
this repository's git history. v0.9 is the submitted version — the
current `ltl.pdf` above.
