The Compass Turn Becomes Generative

From previously mapped response landscapes, the sharpest early action reordering was selected and its neighboring ages were opened into full future fans, revealing a shift from constrictive effects at q24 toward expansive effects later.

We were asking

Does the sharpest turn in the information compass have the same causal meaning throughout development?

This experiment found

The effect changed with age and was heterogeneous across organisms, an exploratory result that motivated later prospective alignment and sign-flip tests.

That sent us to

The prospective studies ask whether age-specific action alignment can be fixed before any future outcomes are visible.
