We were asking
Does the information-compass turn coincide with a population-wide opening or collapse in the volume of reachable forms?

The Future Narrows in Time, Not in Form
A fresh classifier-selected cohort opened 1,536 long futures from q32, q40, and q48, while the average microscopic future-field repertoire stayed nearly constant across those ages.
archivefresh-cohort replication with null volume effect
This experiment found
No; repertoire volume was flat on average, while timing commitment and individual future geometry changed, redirecting attention from volume toward paths and alignment.
That sent us to
Which path-wise or history-conditioned measurements distinguish the individual geometries hidden by a stable average volume?
