Clarity pass over the main text (36-item audit), Discussion rewrite and cut,
acknowledgements, Souly et al. as ref 62, lettered SI panels, model section
moved under Results; plus the untracked curriculum/society/compose/smol
configs, runners, figures, stats and tests that the SI already cites.

An audit of the figure pipeline found real sync gaps, now closed:
- `paper/pnas/make_figs.py` (which draws every manuscript figure) was invoked
by NO Makefile target or script - a manual step. Added `make paper-figures`.
- `configs/llm/epistasis{,_compat}.yaml` were reachable from nothing at all,
despite producing Fig. 3C-D. Added `make llm-epistasis` (+ its statistics).
- `make figures` never regenerated the MNIST montage that Fig. 2B embeds;
it now runs with the `mnist` target (it needs torch - it re-simulates).
- Added `make llm-society`, `env-notebooks`, `notebooks`.
New REPRODUCING.md is the authoritative map: every manuscript panel -> the
artifact it plots -> the config that produced it -> that config's seed, plus
the determinism policy (biological tier bitwise; GPU tiers statistical), the
seed-provenance statement, and an artifact-hash verification snippet. All 44
committed bundles currently hash-match their manifests, and figure
regeneration is pixel-identical (verified by comparison).
reproduce.sh delivers the one-command reproduction the paper's Methods
promises, writing REPRODUCED.md with recomputed hashes per bundle.
Two executed notebooks: 01 builds the Wright-Fisher model from scratch and
checks both closed forms interactively (runs in ~1 min on a laptop); 02
verifies artifact hashes then regenerates and displays all seven manuscript
figures. Both execute end-to-end (`make notebooks`).
Also pins `.python-version` to 3.14: the interpreter was previously
unpinned, and a `uv sync` silently switched it to 3.11 mid-session (see
tasks/lessons.md). README rewritten - it still described a Layer-1-only repo
of E1-E6 and pointed at a figure_manifest.md that does not exist.

Cells lose their borders (pastel fills float; not-tested/literature/open cells
go light gray, headers keep their frame); Fig. 1B's hand-drawn robots are
replaced by the same licensed Flaticon robot as the 1A headers, embedded
unsampled, with the capability dots kept. Both panels visually inspected
post-render (text visible, no overlaps) per the new standing rule in the
global CLAUDE.md: never ship a figure you have not seen.

Space: "information is passed on, but not easily stored: it fades with the
conversation". Time: "information is inherited, evolutionarily selected, and
passed on again — from parent model to child model — where population
genetics applies". The contrast that justifies the transfer, stated where the
reader's eye lands.

Per GG: the "a society in time" label no longer collides with the gen-2
agent's capability dots (taller canvas, pedigree spread), the "inherit" label
clears the timeline (shortened; the caption carries "training on output"),
the cryptic "..." bubble now reads "hi!", and every text element is one to
two points larger.

The paper's key move drawn as a two-panel partner to the programme grid (now
Fig. 1A): on the left, the usual picture — contemporaries exchanging messages
(multi-agent systems, one moment on the clock); on the right, the same
ecosystem seen along its time axis — a pedigree in which a rare capability
(gold dot) is lost under single-parent inheritance, reassembled by merging
complementary parents, and re-supplied by grounding from a reality that can
say no (the globe). Friendly-robot glyphs, colour-coded capability dots;
build.py now stacks multiple PDFs per figure; the Introduction cites 1A and
1B in panel order.
