We were asking
Can one early intervention move a state toward commitment and change how many microscopic futures remain accessible?

One Early Push Narrows the Later Possibility Space
Eight equal first actions created sibling states from one q32 ancestor, after which the most- and least-committed siblings received the same complete second action repertoire.
featuretwo-stage controlled intervention
This experiment found
Across thirty ancestors, the high-coordinate sibling had a narrower later causal repertoire, with seven of eight organism groups pointing in the same direction.
That sent us to
Does repeating the same action strengthen commitment, or does its direction rotate as the organism changes?
