Introduction

This placeholder sets up a final article on determinism as a design requirement rather than an afterthought.

Sources of Non-Determinism

Placeholder: detail timing variance sources across hardware, firmware, and system interfaces.

Design Controls for Deterministic Behavior

Placeholder: describe control strategies for scheduling, interfaces, and latency management.

Evidence and Validation

Placeholder: define evidence artifacts required to support determinism claims.
