Giorgio Gilestro ab3dc10587 Restructure: descriptive tier and experiment names, paper/manuscript
- paper/pnas -> paper/manuscript (venue-neutral)
- configs/layer1 -> configs/inheritance, src/knowledge -> src/inheritance
  (imported as `inheritance`), make layer1 -> make inheritance; layer2 alias dropped
- inheritance and trained-network bundles named after the manuscript figure
  they feed (fig2_grounding_sweep, figS3_rebaselining, ...), or descriptively
  where they feed none; configs keep their `experiment:` value so parquet
  hashes are unchanged, only output.dir moves
- figure scripts, SI figure sources, notebooks, REPRODUCING.md, README and the
  SI Methods/tables updated; make clean no longer deletes tracked manifests;
  reproduce.sh hashes the s{seed}/ layouts too

# (The vertical claim / Fisher-Muller — the society headline): can an offspring recombined from
# MANY decorrelated parents be fitter than ANY parent? Each parent is a specialist: confident-
# correct (hi) on the loci it has mastered, agnostic (~0.5) elsewhere; which loci each masters comes
# from the exact shared-switch construction, so parent count K_T and decorrelation rho are clean
# knobs. Deployed capability = fitness of the MODE genotype. Compare best single parent vs mean-
# mixture ("model soup", combine-but-don't-recombine) vs sexual recombination (assemble the best
# allele of each locus across all parents). Expect: sexual climbs to the optimum (=L, a genotype NO
# parent had) as K_T grows and rho->0, while best-parent and average plateau far below. Unlike
# biological sex there is no two-parent limit. Falsifier: sexual never exceeds the best parent, or
# averaging matches sexual.
society:
L: 12 # loci; the optimum (all-correct) has fitness 12 and no parent possesses it
q: 0.5 # fraction of loci each parent masters (marginal mastery)
hi: 0.9 # correct-allele prob on a mastered locus (confident expert)
lo: 0.45 # correct-allele prob on an unmastered locus (agnostic, slightly wrong)
sweep:
- param: K_T
values: [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12] # number of parents (unbounded; grows the recombinant reach)
- param: rho
values: [0.0, 0.5, 1.0] # decorrelated -> identical parents (the control)
