+**Description:** Complete HSLM-1.95M architecture diagram showing:
+- Input token embedding layer (TF3 compressed)
+- Transformer stack (6 layers, 8 heads each)
+- Sparse VSA attention mechanism
+- Feed-forward network with φ² expansion
+- Output projection to vocabulary
+
+**Colors:** Primary (green), Secondary (blue), Accent (orange)
+
+### Figure 2: Convergence Curves (6.5" × 3")
+
+**File:** `figures/fig2_convergence.pdf`
+**Size:** 19.9 KB
+**Description:** Training perplexity over 30K steps comparing:
+- Sacred scaling (green line)
+- Standard Xavier initialization (blue line)
+- Standard Kaiming initialization (orange line)
+
+**Results:** Sacred scaling converges faster and to lower PPL.
+
+### Figure 3: FPGA Resources (6.5" × 3")
+
+**File:** `figures/fig3_resources.pdf`
+**Size:** 24.6 KB
+**Description:** XC7A100T FPGA resource utilization:
+- LUT: 19.6% (40,258 / 205,520)
+- FF: 8.3% (34,386 / 413,600)
+- BRAM: 12.5% (65,536 / 523,200)
+- DSP: 0% (0 / 900) — Zero-DSP achievement!
+
+### Figure 4: Ablation Studies (6.5" × 4")
+
+**File:** `figures/fig4_ablation.pdf`
+**Size:** 32.3 KB
+**Description:** Component ablation showing:
+- Sparsity sweep (0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95)
+- Dimension sweep (256, 512, 768, 1024)
+- Layer depth sweep (4, 6, 8, 12)
+
+**Key Finding:** 90% sparsity with 512 dimensions is optimal.
+
+### Figure 5: Energy Efficiency (6.5" × 3")
+
+**File:** `figures/fig5_energy.pdf`
+**Size:** 29.4 KB
+**Description:** Energy consumption comparison:
+- FPGA: 0.023 μJ/token (baseline)
+- ARM64: 1.172 μJ/token (51× higher)
+- H100: 1.172 μJ/token (same compute, more power)
+
+**Key Finding:** 533× energy efficiency on FPGA vs ARM64.
+
+### Figure 6: Ternary vs Binary (6.5" × 3")
+
+**File:** `figures/fig6_ternary_binary.pdf`
+**Size:** 25.7 KB
+**Description:** Encoding efficiency comparison:
+- Ternary {-1, 0, +1}: 1.58 bits/trit
+- Binary {0, 1}: 1 bit/bit
+- Balanced ternary provides more information per element
