"""Layer 1.5 — the architecture-general neural existence proof. Realises the Layer-1 (``knowledge``) Wright-Fisher abstractions in *real trained generative models* on a fully-synthetic sandbox whose ground-truth ``p*`` is known exactly. A model's knowledge is measured as its output distribution over ``K`` discrete *modes* (via an oracle), so the same metrics (``knowledge.metrics``), the same closed forms, and the same experiments carry over — a neural collapse curve can be overlaid on a Layer-1 analytic curve. The package is staged by cost: the histogram model (pure NumPy) reduces this layer *exactly* to Layer 1 and is the validation bridge; the RNN/VAE/MLP models (torch, added from Stage C) show that collapse is architecture-general.
