Add paired narrative excerpts and images to paper/paper.md (ecuador-0fn)

New section 4.5 quotes the corner-arrival, entrance-threshold, and
Patio-of-Origins passages from both tracks side by side (they turn out
to be near-verbatim identical, sharpening the shared-root-narrative
finding from the previous revision), each paired with one image from
each track. Track B images are added as compressed, paper-specific
copies at paper/images/ (originals in docs/images-salingaros/ are full
resolution PNGs); Track A images are referenced directly from
docs/images/.

One Track B image is used as-is despite showing hallucinated wall
signage ("Museo America Andina" instead of "Museo Nacional del
Ecuador") - kept deliberately as honest, concrete evidence for the
symposium's hallucination critique in section 5, rather than cropped
out.

### 4.5 Three Passages, Two Image Sets
The claims in §4.1§4.4 are easier to judge from the material itself than
from a description of it. This section shows three moments of the museum
— the corner arrival, the entrance threshold, and the first patio — each
as text from both tracks and as one image from each track's set.
**The corner arrival.** Both tracks open their description of the
building from the same street corner, in near-identical language. Track
A (Postle, reproducing the shared root narrative almost verbatim):
> From the corner of Avenida Eloy Alfaro and Avenida de la República, the
> museum does not announce itself as a single monumental object. It
> appears as a gathered family of white and grey masonry volumes rising
> from a broad platform of dark andesite... The building reads vertically
> as a tectonic history of the country: dark stone at the earth, thick
> limewashed tapial and adobe above it, and a lighter crown of timber and
> bahareque beneath the roofs.
> — `narratives/01-visitor.md`
Track B (Salingaros, same opening, independently elaborated):
> From the corner of Avenida Eloy Alfaro and Avenida de la República, the
> museum appears as a gathered family of white and grey masonry volumes
> rising from a terraced platform of dark andesite. The ground itself is
> shaped the way Andean building ground has always been shaped: slopes
> are carved into terraces of fitted stone, their retaining faces
> inclining slightly inward with the visual stability of pre-Columbian
> masonry... Against this field of tile, a small number of skyline events
> are reserved for the communal cores: a glazed lantern over the stair
> hall, a sculpted finial rising above the education wing.

The two images below illustrate the same corner. Figure 1 is Track A's
watercolor register; Figure 2 is Track B's photo-realistic register —
the divergence discussed in §4.4 and §6.3, visible directly rather than
only described.
![Track A: the museum seen from the corner of Av. Eloy Alfaro and Av. de la República, Midjourney, watercolor and gouache register.](../docs/images/01-exterior-corner-view.jpg)
*Figure 1. Track A (Postle/Midjourney).*
![Track B: the same corner, ChatGPT, photo-realistic register.](images/track-b-01-corner-aerial.jpg)
*Figure 2. Track B (Salingaros/ChatGPT).*
**The entrance threshold.** This passage is the source of the
five-bay/three-arch discrepancy discussed in §6.1, and both tracks state
the same "five bays" claim, again in near-identical wording:
> The entrance projects from the façade as a deep stone portal composed
> in a rhythm of five bays — unmistakable from both avenues, but not
> overpowering... The transition is staged and bodily: street, atrio,
> portal, zaguán, patio — the museum never exposes itself all at once.
> — `narratives/01-visitor.md`
> The entrance projects from the façade as a deep stone portal composed
> in a rhythm of five bays — unmistakable from both avenues, its central
> bay carrying the finest carving and the great recessed wooden doors.
> Within those doors, a postigo, a pedestrian door-within-a-door, admits
> visitors at daily scale, so the museum is entered the way Ecuadorian
> buildings have always been entered.
> — `docs/3.Casa-de-la-Memoria-Ecuatoriana-Design-Narrative-Museo-Nacional-del-Ecuador.txt`
Neither track's entrance image matches this shared text, and the two
images do not match each other either: Track A's shows a three-arched
loggia (Figure 3); Track B's shows a single deep portal with no
bay rhythm at all (Figure 4). This is the clearest available
demonstration of §6.1's point — a coordinated *text* does not produce a
coordinated *building*, because nothing connects either image-generation
stage back to the written bay count.
![Track A: the entrance portal, three arches shown against a text describing five bays.](../docs/images/04-entrance-portal.jpg)
*Figure 3. Track A (Postle/Midjourney).*
![Track B: an alternative entrance portal treatment, a single deep archway.](images/track-b-02-entrance-portal.jpg)
*Figure 4. Track B (Salingaros/ChatGPT).*
**The Patio of Origins.** Again near-identical text:
> The first realm is the Patio of Origins, proportioned so that the high
> equatorial sun reaches the paving and planting while the surrounding
> corredores remain in shade... Rainwater falls from expressed canales
> into shallow stone-lined rills that cross the court toward planted
> basins.

Figures 5 and 6 show the same courtyard moment in each register. Track
B's image (Figure 6) is also a useful, unflattering instance of the
hallucination symposium participants warned about in §5: its building
signage reads "Museo América Andina," not "Museo Nacional del Ecuador"
— a small, honest example of the kind of close-inspection error the
critique in §5 describes, preserved here rather than cropped out.
![Track A: the Patio of Origins, with a fountain and colonnade.](../docs/images/05-patio-of-origins.jpg)
*Figure 5. Track A (Postle/Midjourney).*
![Track B: a courtyard with fountain and colonnade; the wall signage reads "Museo América Andina," an instance of the hallucination discussed in §5.](images/track-b-03-patio-fountain.jpg)
*Figure 6. Track B (Salingaros/ChatGPT). Signage error visible on the right-hand wall.*
