We were asking
Can one early push change which later responses remain accessible, even when every sibling begins from the same passage-32 state?

One Early Push Changed What Later Actions Could Reach
From each organism at passage 32, eight equal pushes produced sibling states; after the higher- and lower-scoring siblings were chosen, but before any long continuation existed, both received the same unforced continuation and eight later pushes, and the higher sibling reached a slightly narrower set of passage-900 fields on average.
featurefuture-blind sibling intervention in a new cohort
This experiment found
Across 30 ancestors, the higher-scoring siblings reached a narrower set of passage-900 fields on average, although twelve widened; the timing interval still included no change, and the experiment could not separate the coordinate from the action chosen to reach it.
That sent us to
If the coordinate-guided push is repeated and then released, does the narrower response field persist, grow, or disappear?
