Description

Refactors the project documentation to align with the Systems Engineering philosophy. This PR shifts the branding from a "DIY Audio Project" to a "Vertically Integrated Analysis Platform", emphasizing the rigorous correlation between circuit topology and spectral output.

Changes

1. Main README (README.md)

  • Mission Statement: Defined the core value prop as Vertical Integration (owning the power, device, probe, and analysis stack) to eliminate "black box" variables.
  • Signal Analysis: Renamed "Key Findings" to "Signal Analysis: Quantifying 'Warmth'". Framed the results as objective 2nd-order harmonic distortion rather than subjective audio opinion.

2. Roadmap Pivot (v2.0)

  • Determinism: Explicitly rejected USB (Host-Polled) in favor of Ethernet (UDP Streaming) to guarantee deterministic data egress.
  • Architecture: Added plans for a Zero-Copy DMA pipeline to decouple sampling timing from CPU cycles.

Motivation

To demonstrate to technical reviewers that this is not just a hobbyist project, but a rigorous engineering platform designed to quantify subjective audio phenomena using deterministic signal processing.

Refactors the documentation to position the project as a closed-loop systems engineering platform rather than a collection of DIY circuits.
- Replaces generic intro with 'The Mission: Vertical Integration'.
- Retitles analysis section to 'Quantifying Warmth' (Signal vs Noise).
- Updates Roadmap to prioritize Determinism: replaces USB/Polling with Ethernet/UDP and Zero-Copy DMA.
