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.

840b6b00b3 Layer 1.5: architecture-general neural existence proof
Re-scopes Layer 2 into a cheaper, architecture-general neural collapse proof
before the LLM rung. Realises the same Wright–Fisher abstractions in real trained
generative models on a fully-synthetic sandbox with an exact oracle, reusing
knowledge.metrics/truth/seeding and the output contract so neural curves overlay
the Layer-1 analytic curves.

  - src/neural/: synthetic token-grammar sandbox (lossless identity + stochastic
    style), ExactOracle, HistogramModel bridge, generation loop, experiment runner
  - HARD GATE passed: histogram lineage reproduces Layer 1 exactly (neutral decay,
    exact H_eq, tracks run_lineage) — tests/test_neural_validation.py
  - torch models: autoregressive RNN + MLP (VAE implemented, not yet fidelity-
    passing); determinism seeding derived from the SeedSequence stream
  - N0 bridge (neural g*=0.047 ≈ Layer-1 0.048), N1 collapse-in-weights, N2 phase
    boundary, N5 architecture-generality (collapse + grounding-rescue in histogram
    + RNN + MLP). Manifests/configs committed; parquet gitignored, hashes tracked
  - additive backward-compatible save_artifacts extension; Makefile neural targets

Finding: neural smoothing partially resists H-collapse, so forward-KL and tail
survival are the sharp neural collapse metrics (H is smooth, per Layer 1).

92 tests green. Remaining (tasks/todo.md): N4 merge, N2 refine, N3/N6, VAE
fidelity, MNIST tier, figures. LLM/LoRA rung and C3 deferred.

a6eb9b7512 Layer 1 core: Wright-Fisher knowledge-transmission model with E1-E2
Scaffold plus the Layer 1 analytical core and the first two experiments.

- knowledge/: truth, metrics, teachers (2.7.1 shared-switch construction),
  step, lineage, experiment, config, seeding (imported as `knowledge`).
- Validation spine green: neutral decay (Pred 1), fixation (Pred 2), exact
  mutation-drift equilibrium (Pred 3), union coverage (Pred 5). 68 tests pass.
- E1 reproduces tail-first collapse. E2 delivers the headline: a grounding
  phase boundary g* << 1, with stationary H tracking the exact H_eq closed
  form (g=0.005 -> 68% of truth diversity; g=0.05 -> 96%).
- Reproducibility: uv venv from a hash-pinned uv.lock is the source of truth;
  every run writes results.parquet + resolved_config.yaml + manifest.json
  (lib versions, git commit, sha256). Figures and manifests tracked; the
  large regenerable parquet is gitignored.
