The Hidden State Becomes a Body

After an early action separated open and closed causal states, the action's special advantage faded but the two branches continued to diverge into bodies with different size, rigidity, and topological activity.

We were asking

Does an early difference in causal openness remain an abstract score, or does it become part of the later body?

This experiment found

The hidden split outlived the selected intervention and progressively appeared in morphology, while a least-divergent action-pair control stayed much closer.

That sent us to

Which later actions reveal the extra futures of the open state, and can feedback reverse the body's resulting bias?
