Is This Quantum? How Chips Are Actually Made

Quantum: The vision includes quantum (QUANTUM voxel type, whole-quantum options, hybrid, nine elements). The seed we build today is classical: one cell, OpenLANE2. No qubits in that block. Quantum is the path we take when we add the right voxel types and RTL.
How chips are made: RTL (from 27/24/28) → synthesis → OpenLANE2 P&R → GDSII/LEF → foundry or package. 18 gives you the seed voxel build, the ratio and seed matrix, and the Blu-ray packaging. 24/27/28 give you the full RTL and build flows. No hand-waving. No scam.
