fix: Replace Weil with Wittgenstein as structural foundation on homepage

Browse source 
Simone Weil is a Layer 3 wisdom tradition (communication style
influence), not a structural foundation of the framework. The source
document (Philosophical Foundations) identifies four structural
pillars: Berlin (value pluralism), Wittgenstein (sayable/unsayable),
Te Tiriti (indigenous sovereignty), Alexander (living architecture).

Weil's concept of attention is about receptive engagement with
suffering — a quality of consciousness, not a system property.
Claiming her philosophy leads to "architectural constraints" is a
non sequitur. Her proper role is in the PluralisticDeliberation
Orchestrator's deliberative process (researcher.html), not as a
pillar of the governance architecture.

People significantly affected by power imbalances are often unable to articulate their needs. AI governance should attend structurally to the afflicted &mdash; not through training data bias correction, but through architectural constraints that reduce the likelihood of harm.
Some decisions can be systematised and delegated to AI; others &mdash; involving values, ethics, cultural context &mdash; fundamentally cannot. The boundary between the &ldquo;sayable&rdquo; (what can be specified, measured, verified) and what lies beyond it is the framework&rsquo;s foundational constraint. What cannot be systematised must not be automated.

Three editions of the research paper <em>"Interrupting Neural Reasoning Through Constitutional Inference Gating"</em> were published: Academic (full formal treatment), Community (practical adoption guide), and Policymakers (regulatory perspective). The K&#333;rero counter-arguments document was also published &mdash; a deliberate engagement with foreseeable criticisms of the approach.
