feat(infospace): flat canonical entity set with cross-chapter deduplication
Restructure entity storage from per-chapter subdirectories to a flat
canonical set in output/entities/. Each entity exists as a single file;
duplicates across chapters are detected by slug collision and skipped
(first occurrence wins). Chapter views use {{ include }} transclusion
to reference shared entity files.
Add @{existing_entities} macro to extract-entities template so the LLM
knows which entities already exist and focuses on genuinely new ones.
Refactor _call_llm() from _execute_llm() for callers that handle their
own file I/O. 41 unique entities from 4 chapters (2 duplicates removed).

# Difference of Talents
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The observable variation in skills, aptitudes, and abilities among individuals
|
||||
in different occupations. Smith makes the striking argument that this
|
||||
difference is largely the effect rather than the cause of the division of
|
||||
labour: people are born with roughly equal abilities, and it is their
|
||||
different occupations, shaped by habit, custom, and education, that create
|
||||
the apparent differences. He contrasts humans with dogs, where natural breed
|
||||
differences are far greater but cannot be made useful because animals lack
|
||||
the capacity for exchange.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book I, Chapter 2: "Of the Principle which gives Occasion to the Division
|
||||
of Labour"
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
This argument occupies the final portion of the chapter. Smith uses it to
|
||||
reinforce his claim that exchange, not innate difference, is the driver of
|
||||
specialisation. The philosopher and the street porter were "very much alike"
|
||||
until different employments shaped them differently.

|
||||
## Smith's Original Wording
|
||||
|
||||
"The difference of natural talents in different men, is, in reality, much
|
||||
less than we are aware of; and the very different genius which appears to
|
||||
distinguish men of different professions, when grown up to maturity, is not
|
||||
upon many occasions so much the cause, as the effect of the division of
|
||||
labour."
