docs: record the correspondence corrections — grounding, faculties, wonder, consolidation
The architecture docs describe four things the design spec has since ruled out, and each one is a supervisor invented for something that should be a property of the substrate: grounding modelled as a subsystem rather than as the edge weight it already is; faculties modelled as parameters of a read when abduce is a write; wonder materialized as a maintained manifest when it is the boundary of the structure; and consolidation implemented eleven times behind tickers when a brain has no cron job. Left standing rather than deleted, per the repo's own supersession discipline — the trail of how the understanding matured is the point. Each stale passage is marked inline and points at a new 06 §12 that transcribes the corrections and records the measured consolidation inventory. Authority: foundation/el, branch design/correspondence-and-censorship, lang/spec/correspondence-and-censorship.md.
