One founder choice sent matched states toward different morphologies before and at the structural turn, while the same leverage fell by 12.3 percent two passages later.

This experiment found
The reused cohort showed a plateau followed by reduced steerability, which motivated a fuller age map and disjoint-cohort confirmation rather than standing alone as the final estimate.
That sent us to
A fresh full-age profile must test whether the drop in write access generalizes beyond this reused block.
