Run 12: knowledge system, mortality, and the North's generational soul

Browse Source 
SPEC §5 built: three skill domains (forage/woodcraft/masonry) that pay
off and grow by practice; proximity diffusion soul-calibrated by
absorption x teaching-drive; and mortality - the piece that makes
knowledge generational. Elders die (~150-230 days), everything unshared
dies with them, a youth comes of age near knowing nothing. North soul
(absorption 1.6, teaching 0.9) vs South (1.0, 0.3); East teaches no one.

Two findings: (1) headless soaks were contaminated by orphaned child
processes writing later runs' CSVs - fixed with StopAfterDays clean
self-terminate; (2) passive diffusion barely helped - the North's real
culture is the young seeking elders on purpose, so added deliberate
teacher-seeking and youths now cradle beside the wisest elder. North
now leads knowledge at every checkpoint, but a stable town approaches
the ceiling regardless, so teaching is a recovery advantage not an
equilibrium one. The crisis-recovery experiment is the real test, noted
in FINDINGS as next.
