Hardware-Native Execution Profile (HNEP)

The runtime loads an HNEP, dispatches cheaply, and falls back to baseline on fingerprint mismatch. Correctness gates and statistical skepticism beat mysterious “AI optimization.”

What one Zen machine can prove

Primary evidence path today is a single physical Zen host (e.g. Ryzen 9 9950X). Multi-machine Silicon Split YES/NO is deferred until a second Zen box is available—without blocking professional single-host research.
