Add an Origin Story section to the README (#21)

Right after "Why This Exists" -- the abstract pitch, then the concrete (and
funny) truth of how it actually started: asking an LLM how Jones in the
Fast Lane's mechanics worked, and it not knowing when to stop.

docs/src/pages/index.md regenerated to match.

+This project didn't begin with a grand vision.

+It began because I missed Jones in the Fast Lane.
+
+One evening I wondered how its mechanics actually worked. Mostly out of curiosity.

+So I asked an LLM to explain them.

+It happily started describing weekly budgets, needs, jobs, education, relationships,
+random events...
+
+...and then it started suggesting implementation details.

+That was supposed to be the end of the conversation.

+
+A few minutes later that became:
+
+> "...why make them specific to Jones?"
+
+Then:
+
+> "...what if the mechanics themselves were reusable?"
+
+And then the rabbit hole opened.
+
+Every answer created a better question.
+
+If life simulation can be reusable... why not branching narratives?
+
+If branching narratives can... why not management games? Why not autonomous worlds?
+
+Why not build the deterministic substrate instead of another game?
+
+At some point I stopped trying to write Jones in the Fast Lane.
+
+I accidentally started writing a game engine.
+
+I still maintain this is entirely the LLM's fault. It should have given a shorter
+answer.

 A weekly-budget life simulation and a branching narrative adventure are not the same
