We were asking
How early does a seeded field acquire a privileged direction in which an invisible composition change alters its later body?
Flow Lenia / hidden-state
The Arrow Ignites Early
A faint preferred direction was already measurable at q8, and by q12 its control over later body geometry had nearly doubled even though the applied hidden-state dose was smaller.
featureearly-age direction intervention
This experiment found
Directional leverage increased sharply between q8 and q12, before development settled into the later body, while sideways controls remained weaker.
That sent us to
What information is being reorganized while ordinary predictability falls and directional control rises?
