  1. docs: say what Aether is, not which languages it resembles 

    The README led with "Erlang-style actors, Rust-grade capability discipline, and
Go-flavored ergonomics" and the language reference opened with "combining
Erlang-inspired actor concurrency with type inference". Three names in the
first line tell a reader what other projects did, not what this one does, and
the actor model here is not Erlang's: it is compiled, scheduled across cores by
the runtime, with lock-free mailboxes and migration, and it has no supervision
trees or hot code reload.

The opening now states the distinguishing property, which is that a program's
permissions are written in its source and enforced from compile time down to
libc.

The same substitution ran through the entry docs. "Erlang-inspired pattern
matching" gave a reader nothing to act on and is now a sentence describing
clauses and guards. "Go-style (value, err)" is redundant: the shape describes
itself. Removed the qualifier and kept the shape.

The Acknowledgments section is untouched. It credits Erlang/OTP, Go, Rust and
the rest properly and at length, at the end of the README, which is where that
belongs.
