We were asking
Does an early information state fix one developmental fate, or does it bias a body that later feedback can still redirect?
Flow Lenia / control
The Body Can Be Turned
Late feedback asked both open and closed states for either compact, solid morphology or expansive, skeletal morphology, and both states moved cleanly toward the requested target while control remained active.
librarylate closed-loop morphology control
This experiment found
The bias was strong but negotiable; both states reached opposing body plans, and part of the change persisted after release before relaxing.
That sent us to
Does steering morphology also move the earlier information gate, perhaps on a slower clock?
