Phase 3: Highly Rigorous Mathematical and Architectural Overhaul

Resolves #26: Implements true non-linear Kuramoto coupling, Euler-Maruyama SDE integration, and FitzHugh-Nagumo refractory decay in the KAIROS temporal engine.
Resolves #27: Replaces synchronous O(N) linear averaging with an asynchronous message loop and Lamport logical clocks to guarantee causal ordering and prevent split-brain.
Resolves #28: Upgrades the memory ledger from a linear Hash Chain to a true O(log N) Merkle DAG. Implements Inverse-RoPE logic in triton_bridge.py for hardware anchoring. Enforces cryptographic Ed25519 signature validation on all sensitive API mutations.
