The 'world' glossary entry and the opening of worlds/index defined a world as an RDF knowledge graph engine. Reframe the world contract as a stateful, synchronizable, AI-native dataset, with the RDF knowledge graph and hybrid search as Worlds' default data model — so relational stores such as Polygres qualify as worlds too. Update the style-guide terminology entry to match. Generated with Codebuff 🤖 Co-Authored-By: Codebuff <noreply@codebuff.com>

Summary
The world data structure was defined as an RDF knowledge graph engine
(
glossary.mdx### world, opening ofworlds/index.mdx), which made theconcept too specific: a world should be able to be any stateful,
synchronizable, AI-native dataset — including a relational database — not only
an RDF graph.
This PR generalizes the world contract while keeping the RDF knowledge graph
(+ hybrid search) as Worlds' default data model:
glossary.mdx— theworldentry is now a stateful, versioned,synchronizable, AI-native dataset; the RDF graph + hybrid search index is
described as Worlds' default model, and the entry states the contract is
data-model agnostic (relational database or another syncable store).
worlds/index.mdx— opening paragraph reframed: a world can also bebacked by a relational database or another syncable store, without naming
specific products.
contribute/style.mdx— terminology rule for lowercase world/worldsupdated to match (knowledge graphs under the default engine; contract is
data-model agnostic).
