4e86d8b602 papers: consolidate the real-LLM recombination arc (merge/moe/directed + headroom law)
Folds the four LLM runs into both papers now that the arc is fully characterised.

results-summary.md: new section 5 "The claims tested in real LLM weights" — the
Fisher-Muller generalist (7B merge 0.87 > best specialist 0.77), union-vs-fusion
(routing beats averaging where there is headroom), directed sex (breed + select),
and the unifying HEADROOM law that resolves the earlier saturation confound.
Updates design rule 2 ("merge, don't average — where there is headroom"), adds a
plain-language point 8, refreshes the validation counts (131 tests, real-LLM tier).

the-lamarckian-society-v5.md: softens the three "not a language model yet" claims
to acknowledge the prototype; adds the real-LLM confirmation after the
Fisher-Muller and directed-sex claims (with the headroom caveat as a sharpening,
not a weakening); adds an LLM bullet to section 13; reframes the closing gap to
"the operators, checked; the living society, next."

Tone held to the accessibility/honesty bar: prototype scope flagged (signs not
magnitudes), caveats presented as sharpening the claims, nothing over-celebrated.

bab81d3178 paper: expand results summary to the full study
Rename layer1-summary.md -> results-summary.md and rewrite to cover the
whole body of work with the sexual-reproduction arc as the through-line:
Layer 1 (E1-E6, Wright-Fisher core + closed forms), Layer 1.5 (neural
existence proof: histogram bridge, RNN metric reframing, architecture-
generality, recombination in weights, real-MNIST external validity), the
learning kernel (neutral drift fails both neural models oppositely), the
sexual society (E7-E11: advantage of sex, Fisher-Muller super-parents,
outbreeding depression, directed sex, the dynamic-society vertical claim),
and the Riis positioning (concede collapse=drift; lead with the cure).
Technical + accessible halves; six design rules.
