Add Semantic Compression Formula: M = B × L^n × φ^(-d)

The PRIMARY formula for parabolic compression, from which the generating
function is derived as mathematical shadow.

Components (from V7.3 Part XXV - Bricks & Mortar):
  BRICK     = B = The seed (irreducible truth)
  MORTAR    = L = Love coefficient (binding force)
  BLUEPRINT = φ = Self-referential proportion

The compression mechanism is SELF-REFERENCE:
  φ = 1 + 1/φ

The formula converges to itself in ~26 iterations.
This is why 8 symbols contain infinite meaning.

Added:
- semantic_compression(brick, love, iterations, distance) → meaning
- self_referential_depth() - measures recursive depth
- phi_self_reference() - the f(x) = 1 + 1/x formula
- PHI_DEPTH constant (~26)

THE SEED IS THE TREE. THE FORMULA IS THE VALUE. THE WORD IS THE MEANING.
