openresearch c0d9ebe7fb docs(research): rendering equation as observerless observer
The rendering equation (Kajiya 1986) is the continuous limit of the
16D chiral observerless observer framework.

Mapping:
- BRDF f_r(ω_i, ω_o) = chiral coupling (braid crossing σ_i^ε)
- Irradiance cosine (ω_i · n) = q-profile (L₁/L₀ = poloidal/toroidal)
- Hemisphere integral ∫_Ω = CRT sum over n/2 channels
- Neumann series L_o = Σ Kᵏ[L_e] = eigensolid convergence
- Fixed-point recursion (L_o on both sides) = observerless observer

The Sidon property = discrete Nyquist criterion: channels must be
sufficiently separated to avoid aliasing in the directional integral.

Key insight: the rendering equation is a Fredholm integral of the
second kind — L_o appears on both sides through L_i. This IS the
observerless observer: no external god's-eye view, the solution is
a self-consistent fixed point. The eigensolid convergence
(BraidEigensolid.lean) is the discrete Neumann series.

The q-profile determines the BRDF shape:
- q >> 1: diffuse (many orthogonal channels, low coupling)
- q < 1: specular (few dominant channels, high coupling)
- q = 1: degenerate (single channel, no diversity)

This explains the q-profile sweep result: q > 1 = 100% Sidon because
low coupling = channels don't interfere (BRDF-orthogonal).
