spec: correspondence and censorship — the root beneath the day's defects
Effect: all five cognitive faculties return byte-identical results,
differing only in their label.

The Ishikawa converges on a root one level above the faculty design:
things are permitted to be exempt from correspondence, and exemption is
censorship. A region forbidden to learn is forbidden to be grounded, and a
region that cannot be grounded cannot be asserted, corrected, OR
vindicated. The loss is symmetric — censorship does not preserve a true
belief, it makes the belief's truth value permanently unknowable.

keystone_write_blocked is therefore not a safety mechanism. Self is a
crystallized relational neighbourhood, not a stored document; a region
exempt from calibration reintroduces the stored document as a feature.
reduction_pct = 0.00 on the identity region is the strongest abduction
signal in the system and the current response is to suppress it. The
protection it reached for already exists and is better: the beat is
supersede-not-mutate, so immutability is what makes learning safe.

The faculties are not one operation with parameters. They differ by what
each may change: reason changes the estimate (a read), induce changes the
parameters (the correspondence-beat, which already exists and measurably
works at 28.11% Brier reduction), abduce changes the structure (a WRITE
the current signature cannot express, since engram_think returns a
GeoGradient). Abduction is not selected by a caller — it is triggered by
residual that parameter adjustment cannot absorb, and proposes a candidate
hub held as a hypothesis until grounded.

Also records the no-exemption invariants generalised from the day's fixes
(#141 #142 #143 #146 #147 #148), each of which was a specific
correspondence forbidden from occurring, and the application to the crisis
surface: a censored safety model cannot tell a real crisis from a false
positive, because the feedback is exactly what has been censored.

Measured vs inferred is labelled throughout. The claim that the self
region's zero grounding is CAUSED by the block is explicitly marked
inferred — the comparison node also has zero, and isolating it requires
removing the block and observing whether grounding then accrues.
