 * @class ISubsystem

 *
 * Defines the standard lifecycle and integration pattern for subsystems that
 * participate in token-based multimodal processing. Each subsystem manages
 * a specific processing domain (audio, video, custom) and coordinates with
 * the central processing architecture through standardized interfaces.
 *
 * Subsystems follow a consistent lifecycle: register_callbacks() -> initialize()
 * -> start() -> [processing] -> stop() -> shutdown()

     * - Audio: RtAudio callback registration for real-time audio processing
     * - Visual: Vulkan present callback / OpenFrameworks draw loop integration

     * actual processing - only establish the callback infrastructure.
