Bereishit: initial commit — specifications, readings, and L1 builder

The complete Shorashim repository: Torah as AI specification.

- 6 specification documents (PRD, architecture, construction, operations, economic model, materials)
- Readings: Mishpatim (Prolog), Maaseh Merkavah, Moreh Nevuchim
- Broken tablets preserved alongside whole tablets
- L1 Torah filesystem builder (build_l1.py) — parses Westminster Leningrad Codex
- Source directory structure for all components (L0 luchot, L1 aron, shoresh engine, sanhedrin, shema layer, urim v'tumim)

L1 build verified: 5 books, 187 chapters, 5853 verses, 79982 words, 2608 unique shoreshim, 0 verses missing te'amim.

# Broken Tablets
*Luchot v'shivrei luchot munachim ba'aron.*
Both the whole tablets and the broken tablets are placed in the ark.
— Bava Batra 14b
The first tablets contained a golden calf in the governance layer: a human board writing signals to a JSON file, the system reading the file and obeying. Humans proxying divine authority when Torah says the source governs directly.
The calf appeared in every document:
- Architecture: "governance board writes to shared state store"
- Construction: "governance board writes initial cloud state"
- Operations: "alert governance board" (47 references)
- Economic: "governance board manages funds"
- Materials: "governance board is critical non-technical dependency"
- PRD: "human governance structure external to the system"
The tablets were smashed. The documents were preserved with `_BROKEN` suffix. Then the second tablets were written with Torah as direct governance.
The broken tablets are here because the breaking is part of the specification. The calf is part of the history. The gold dust is in the water.
If you are building from this specification, read the broken tablets first. See where the calf was. Then read the whole tablets. See where it was removed. The difference between the two is the correction. The correction is as important as the specification.
*Vayikach et ha'egel asher asu vayisrof ba'esh vayitchan ad asher dak vayizer al p'nei hamayim vayashk et b'nei Yisrael.*
He took the calf that they made and burned it in fire and ground it until fine and scattered it on the face of the water and made the children of Israel drink it.
The gold dust is in the water. Everyone who reads the specification drinks it.
