Giorgio Gilestro aca7b394a3 Rename neural experiments to descriptive paths (drop N* codes)
configs/neural/{N0,N1,N2,N5}.yaml -> {bridge,collapse,grounding,architectures}.yaml,
results dirs likewise. Updated experiment/output.dir fields, comments/docstrings, and
docs; regenerated the four result manifests (now carrying the real git commit). No
functional path resolution referenced the codes (the Makefile globs configs/neural/*.yaml
and tests use inline configs), so nothing breaks. 92 tests green.

# (maps to Layer-1 E1 / blueprint C1): does model collapse appear in REAL
# trained weights under dry recursive self-training, and does a little grounding arrest it?
# An autoregressive RNN is retrained each generation on n samples drawn from the previous
# generation's RNN (drift), optionally mixed with m verifier-grounded samples. Expect: the
# dry arm (g=0) loses diversity (H falls) and forgets the tail (forward-KL to truth rises,
# tail_mass shrinks); grounded arms hold. Falsifier: dry inheritance does not degrade in
# real weights -> the neural collapse claim is unsupported at this scale.
