We were asking
Does holding the causal gate open leave more genuinely different organisms reachable under the same later causes?

The Gate Opens Futures
Open, closed, untouched, and blindly forced states each received all sixty-four ordered pairs of eight later actions, allowing future diversity to be measured without categories or a chosen morphology.
libraryexhaustive action-pair intervention
This experiment found
The open state had roughly five more effective future dimensions than the closed state, broader raw outcome distances, and stronger sensitivity to the second action.
That sent us to
Which visible morphologies account for the extra dimensions, and can the same later action reverse the state's preferred body?
