[JOSS] Docs: Clarify difference between core and user examples (#2706)
This PR updates the README for the Mesa core examples to better explain the distinction between:
1. Core examples in the main Mesa repository - maintained by the Mesa team and demonstrating key ABM concepts
2. User-contributed examples in the mesa-examples repository - community showcases and additional implementations

# Mesa Core Examples
2
+
This repository contains a curated set of classic agent-based models implemented using Mesa. These core examples are maintained by the Mesa development team and serve as both demonstrations of Mesa's capabilities and starting points for your own models.

The examples are categorized into two groups:
6

1.**Basic Examples** - Simpler models that use only stable Mesa features; ideal for beginners
7
+
2.**Advanced Examples** - More complex models that demonstrate additional concepts and may use some experimental features

The basic examples are relatively simple and only use stable Mesa features. They are good starting points for learning how to use Mesa.
This is Epstein & Axtell's Sugarscape model with Traders, a detailed description is in Chapter four of *Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science from the Bottom Up (1996)*. The model shows how emergent price equilibrium can happen via decentralized dynamics.
