refactor(lol/agda): replace Float arithmetic postulates with stdlib defs
Five postulated Float operations (log₂, *f, +f, negateF, /f) replaced with actual definitions using Agda.Builtin.Float primitives: log₂ x = primFloatDiv (primFloatLog x) (primFloatLog 2.0) _*f_ = primFloatTimes _+f_ = primFloatPlus negateF = primFloatNegate _/f_ = primFloatDiv The four information-theoretic theorem postulates (entropy-nonneg, kl-nonneg, js-symmetric, js-bounded) are classified as justified axioms over Float — these require real-analysis machinery (ℝ, convexity lemmas) that is out of scope for an IEEE 754 Float model. Comments added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
