The Information Landscape Has Folds

Across 128 matched sheets, states at nearly the same information-score level remained separated by history as strongly as states spanning much of the reachable score range, and that history changed what later actions meant.

We were asking

Is the information score a complete coordinate for the organism's causal state, or does one score level contain distinct history-dependent sheets?

This experiment found

The landscape is folded: history is a large state coordinate, the low-to-high direction depends on the sheet, and later future clouds move without a simple change in volume.

That sent us to

Which distributed response features can serve as a richer causal address for those hidden sheets?
