feat(MATH-003): add reproducible computation lane — experiments/

Create a repo-local structure for deterministic computational math
experiments with provenance manifests, result hashing, and clear
limitations on what computation can prove vs. suggest.

Additions:
- experiments/README.md: Philosophy, directory structure, manifest schema,
  graduation criteria (experiment→proof), and Sage compatibility notes
- experiments/MANIFEST_SCHEMA.md: JSON schema for experiment result manifests
  (fields: code_hash, output_hash, assumptions, timestamp, runtime, etc.)
- experiments/template.py: Complete starter template with:
    * deterministic seed handling
    * self-hashing (code_hash, output_hash via SHA256)
    * manifest generation boilerplate
    * markdown report writer
    * CLI args placeholder for parameter sweeps
- experiments/riemann_pii.py: Working toy experiment — Riemann sum π approx
  Demonstrates full pattern:
    * n=10000 rectangles → π ≈ 3.141391 (error ~2e-4)
    * produces manifest + markdown report
    * classifies as "suggests" (numerical approximation, not proof)
- experiments/fibonacci_cassini.py: Second toy experiment — Cassini identity
  Verifies F_{n-1}F_{n+1} - F_n² = (-1)^n for n=1..1000
    * integer arithmetic — exact result
    * still "suggests" (finite check, not inductive proof)
    * high confidence due to exact arithmetic
- experiments/.gitignore: ignores manifests/, results/, and *.manifest.json
  so generated artifacts are never committed

Verification:
$ python experiments/riemann_pii.py
  → writes experiments/manifests/riemann_pii.manifest.json + report.md
$ python experiments/fibonacci_cassini.py
  → writes experiments/manifests/fibonacci_cassini.manifest.json + report.md

Both runs are reproducible: code_hash and output_hash match across runs.

Design rationale:
- Minimal dependency: pure Python 3.10+ (no Sage yet; optional future)
- Self-contained: each experiment is a single script
- Deterministic: no randomness unless fixed seed set
- Hash-based integrity: code_hash verifies exact source; output_hash verifies result
- Manifest captures all required metadata per acceptance criteria
- README explicitly explains computational limits: numerical cannot replace
  analytical proof; bounded by assumptions and precision

Closes #879

+# Reproducible Computation Lane — MATH-003
+
+This directory houses deterministic computational experiments. Each experiment
+is a self-contained script that produces a **result manifest** — a JSON record
+capturing the computation's provenance, assumptions, and outputs.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Computation can **suggest** or **prove** mathematical claims, but only within
+stated bounds. A numerical approximation suggests; an algebraic derivation with
+rigorous error bounds may prove. The manifest records which regime the
+computation lives in.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+experiments/
+├── README.md              ← this file
+├── template.py            ← starter template for new experiments
+├── riemann_pii.py         ← working example: π via Riemann sum
+├── MANIFEST_SCHEMA.md     ← complete JSON schema for manifests
+├── .gitignore             ← ignores generated outputs
+├── manifests/             ← auto-created: JSON manifests per run
+└── results/               ← auto-created: markdown reports, plots
+```
+
+## Running an Experiment
+
+```bash
+python experiments/riemann_pii.py
+```
+
+The script writes two artifacts:
+- `manifests/riemann_pii.manifest.json` — complete provenance record
+- `results/riemann_pii.report.md`  — human-readable computation report
+
+## Manifest Fields
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `experiment_name` | Script name (without extension) |
+| `problem_source` | URL or citation where the problem originates |
+| `assumptions` | List of constraints that bound the computation's validity |
+| `code_hash` | `sha256:` hash of the source script bytes |
+| `output_hash` | `sha256:` hash of the primary numeric/structured result |
+| `timestamp_utc` | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when computation completed |
+| `runtime_seconds` | Wall-clock execution time |
+| `result` | The actual computed value(s) — must be JSON-serializable |
+| `suggests_or_proves` | `"suggests"` or `"proves"` — declarative regime |
+| `confidence` | `"high"`, `"medium"`, `"low"` — based on error bounds, convergence |
+
+## Graduation: Experiment → Proof/Review Packet
+
+An experiment result graduates from "suggest" to "proof" when:
+
+1. **Error bounds are rigorous** — numeric error is bounded analytically (not just empirically)
+2. **Code is audited** — independent review verifies algorithm correctness
+3. **Replication** — same manifest fields (code hash + inputs) reproduce the result
+4. **Peer review** — result is submitted as part of a review packet (see `rcas/`)
+
+Until then, treat computational results as **suggestive evidence** within the
+stated assumptions — not as final mathematical truth.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Numerical results are **bounded by floating-point precision** (typically ~1e-16 for double)
+- Convergence-based methods **require empirical error checks** — absence of error = absence of proof
+- Random or Monte Carlo methods are inherently **non-deterministic without fixed seed**
+- Symbolic computation (e.g., Sage) **may introduce its own assumptions** about algebraic closures
+- A computation proves **only what its assumptions allow** — do not extrapolate
+
+## Template
+
+Copy `template.py` to start a new experiment. It includes:
+- Deterministic seed setting
+- Self-hashing (code_hash)
+- Manifest generation boilerplate
+- Markdown report writer
+- CLI argument handling for parameter sweeps
+
+## Sage Compatibility
+
+Experiments may optionally depend on SageMath. If `sage` is in `problem_source`
+or assumptions reference symbolic manipulation, note Sage version in assumptions.
+
+Currently: **Python-only** (no external math dependencies).
