Validation-Gated Multi-Plane Execution Architecture for Governed Computing

Finite-Pattern Engine (claims 199–211) and non-circulant generalization. Deterministic evaluation over finite chain rings: Δ_p-bounded recurrence engine, Smith Normal Form classifier, conic-section fingerprints, square-class classifiers over two-power rings. Non-circulant claim extends Gap-3 to the general case across 46,656 × 2.18B lifted cases.
