Dr. Kim Seo-yeon — lead architect of the Grounded compact neural core line at Neuromorphic Foundries, announced 12 January 2158; she joined the company from its room-scale line in 2149. Built the line’s substrate-compression approach on Jesse Hayes’s 2105 Tsinghua doctoral thesis — located by citation tracing after the thesis went uncited from March 2124 — and publicly credited it, distinguishing the thesis from the Hygiea black site lineage: the Grounded line starts from the thesis, not from HR-1, whose four innovations the company does not have. Stated the S-1’s power gap against HR-1 as a gap she would not dress up, with a next-programme target of an S-2 under 50 W idle before the end of the decade.
