We were asking
When an early intervention changes which futures remain available, does that difference stay abstract, or does it become part of the later body?

The Same Later Actions Left Two Different Forms
An earlier controller produced more-open and more-closed versions of each organism, and the same later actions left those branches visibly different 256 steps later; the action pair chosen to maximize the early split, however, no longer separated them more than the within-organism control.

This experiment found
The branches remained about 0.45 Hellinger units apart at step 256 under either action pair, so developmental history remained visible in form even after the specially chosen pair lost its extra leverage.
That sent us to
Can the open branch help an organism from a new cohort reach a mature morphology named before the future is run, using actions chosen without looking at that future?
