paper (Phase 2): fold hardened E13 into both versions, citation refresh, arXiv package

Browse source 
Speciation section rewritten around the hardened results: alignment
modulo the full function-preserving symmetry group (answers 2606.23607
preemptively), the hybrid-fitness cliff (0.97 -> 0.03), the mu(S)/2
floor, and the pre-registered emergent converse (no isolation without
functional conflict; the merge rescues forgetting specialists) — in the
abstract, §5, §13 ledger, and the accessible version.

Citation refresh (author names verified via arXiv API): concede
First-Extinction Law (Benati 2509.20101) and quantitative-trait collapse
(Yoon 2407.17493) alongside Riis; add verifier-injection (Yi 2510.16657),
Livnat & Papadimitriou (CACM 2016) as the sex-as-computation precursor,
and the adjacent 2024-26 merge/LMC/multi-agent literature (Ainsworth,
Pari, Zhou, Cao, Sharma, Hu, Kozodoi, Li & Shen, Harris, Chen, Tanaka).

arXiv package (paper/arxiv/): md2tex.py — a small block-based
Markdown->LaTeX converter keeping the Markdown as source of truth —
main.tex, generated body.tex, 3 vector figures; builds clean under
tectonic (20 pp; pdflatex hint guarded for arXiv); ARXIV-SUBMISSION.md
carries categories, license note, and a <=1,920-char abstract. 149 tests
green.

- [ ] Citation refresh in `paper/the-evolution-of-sex-for-ai.md`: **new concessions** —
- [x] Citation refresh in `paper/the-evolution-of-sex-for-ai.md` *(done 2026-08-11; author names verified against arXiv API)*: **new concessions** —
First-Extinction Law (2509.20101), quantitative-trait collapse (2407.17493), verifier-injection
(2510.16657); **precursor** — Livnat & Papadimitriou, *Sex as an algorithm* (CACM 2016);
**adjacent-to-differentiate** — merge-collapse theory (2603.09463), mergeability prediction
(2601.22285), non-local merging (2410.12766), model kinship (2410.12613), expert-duration
(2607.11997), symmetry-scaling (2606.23607), Harris (2604.05142), in-context diversity collapse
(2604.18005, 2603.24676).
- [ ] Fold E13b/c results into the speciation section (whatever they show — honestly).
- [ ] LaTeX conversion of the full v6 (article class is fine for arXiv; keep figures as-is),
build with tectonic, proof-read pass.
- [ ] Post to arXiv: q-bio.PE primary, cs.LG (or cs.NE) cross-list. PNAS permits preprints.
- [x] Fold E13b/c results into the speciation section (whatever they show — honestly). *(Done: full-symmetry residual + hybrid-fitness cliff + the emergent converse, in abstract, §5, §13 and the accessible version.)*
- [x] LaTeX conversion: `paper/arxiv/` (md2tex.py block-based converter from the Markdown source of
truth; main.tex; 3 figures; builds clean under tectonic, 20 pp; arXiv pdflatex hint guarded).
- [ ] **Post to arXiv (GG action — package ready):** upload `paper/arxiv/{main.tex,body.tex,figs/}`;
categories, license note, and a ≤1,920-char abstract are prepared in `paper/arxiv/ARXIV-SUBMISSION.md`.
