russell@unturf.com 1a94fc0720 Add EML universality proof — verify arXiv:2603.21852v2
Proof that eml(x,y) = exp(x) - ln(y) with constant 1 generates all
elementary functions. Both Python and uncommonlisp implementations.

Chain: e → exp → ln → 0 → subtraction → negatives → complex plane
(via ln(negative) = ln(|neg|) + iπ) → π, i, sin, cos, all arithmetic.

Python: 17 checks, 0.03s. uncommonlisp: 14 checks, 111s.
All checks pass at 1e-10 tolerance.

# Bootstrap: 2 = e - (e-2). e-2 = eml(1,1) - 2... circular.
# Let's try: 2 = exp(ln(2)). And ln(2)?
# Actually: eml(0, eml(0, 1)) = exp(0) - ln(exp(0) - ln(1)) = 1 - ln(1) = 1.
# eml(0, eml(1, eml(1,1))) = 1 - ln(eml(1,e)) = 1 - ln(e - ln(e)) = 1 - ln(e-1)
# = 1 - 0.5413 = 0.4587. Not useful directly.
# Alternative path to i: i² = -1, so i = exp(iπ/2)
# iπ/2 = ln(-1)/2. We need division by 2.
# ln(x)/2 = ln(sqrt(x)). And sqrt(x) = exp(ln(x)/2)... circular.
# But: sqrt(-1) = i. And ln(sqrt(x)) = ln(x)/2.
# So: i = exp(ln(-1)/2) = exp(ln(sqrt(-1)))... still need sqrt.
