ideas: editorial sweep — atomization, interlinking, restructuring

Browse Source 
- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in
  ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs
  generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity.
- Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB).
- Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index,
  first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time,
  native-org-knowledge-base).
- Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished
  truncated sentences.
- Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages
  (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace,
  social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.).
- Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip,
  verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages).
- Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today.
- Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance).
- Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

#+title: Why Lisp Is Economically Viable Now
@@ -13,4 +14,4 @@ Four transformations flipped the economics:
3. **Complexity saturates human verification.** Systems are tens of millions of lines. Testing is necessary but insufficient — zero-day vulnerabilities prove bugs survive all testing. Formal verification is the only known path.
4. **Cost of failure exceeds cost of verification.** A single breach costs millions. Regulation mandates provable compliance. Proving correctness is cheaper than not proving it.
The [[file:verification-appliance.org][verification appliance]] (AGPL symbolic engine + RISC-V Lisp μcode on FPGA) costs $5,000/year and replaces $500,000/year in compliance audits, breach litigation, and regulatory fines. This [[file:cost-structure.org][cost structure]] — zero marginal cost per additional user — is what makes Lisp economically viable at scale. The [[file:self-driving-lisp-machine.org][self-driving Lisp Machine]] is the hardware endpoint of this economic logic. For the biological analogy that explains why Lisp architecture is a natural outcome of complexity pressure, see [[file:biology-parallels.org][biology parallels]]. For the historical precedent, see the [[file:comparison-with-symbolics.org][comparison with Symbolics Genera]]. The [[file:ai-industry-impact.org][impact on the AI industry]] is the market-side consequence.
