narrative: remove internal-deliberation ghosts from the diagnosis passages

Browse source 
The convergence paragraph rewritten as a natural literature entry: the
drift identification is stated as a fact of the field, made repeatedly
and independently (pre-deep-learning inference chains; LLM text
ecosystems; the first-extinction law; quantitative-genetic form), its
multiplicity presented as a property of the idea rather than a claim
about us; the pivot is positive (population genetics is a theory of what
maintains populations despite decay, and this paper develops that fuller
structure) instead of defensive ("what none of that parallel work
develops"). "We reached independently", "priority of publication", and
"convergence we take as support" removed from the abstract and the
Discussion ledger as well. Refs 22-25 renumbered to the new textual
(chronological) order; citation invariant re-verified (1..66). Lesson
recorded: internal strategic deliberations must not surface in
reader-facing prose — confident papers situate, they do not litigate.

**2026-08-11 — Internal deliberations must not leak into reader-facing prose.** GG (on the
convergence paragraph): it "carries all the ghosts of our internal brainstorming that should be
completely alien to the readers (this is, alas, a recurring problem with your writing)." The pattern:
strategic concerns from the working process (priority anxieties -> "we cite for priority of
publication"; calibration debates -> "the honest statement"; positioning battles -> "nobody has")
surface as defensive or self-referential prose. Rule: before finalising any reader-facing passage,
ask "does understanding this sentence require knowing how we worked?" If yes, rewrite it as a plain
statement about the literature or the result. Confident papers situate; they do not litigate.
