feat(agi): integrate Spatial Engine and thermodynamic/cybernetic academic research

- Migrates Evennia-based Spatial Cognitive Engine to ground KAIROS physically
- Migrates Kubernetes orchestration manifests for the mesh
- Re-anchors README narrative toward AGI grounding rather than a game
- Adds rigorous academic syntheses (Sovereign Canon, Thermodynamic Orchestration)
