We were asking
Is the map from history to future assembled gradually as the body forms, or is it already present in the earliest state we measured?

Plasticity Is There From the Start
At q8, when the seeded fields still look modest and similar, different causal histories already fan outward into distinct bodies and formation times, and the measured future map is at least as broad as it is at q32.

This experiment found
The map was already broad at q8 and consolidated slightly through q24, while visible geometry changed later; causal multiplicity therefore precedes the body that eventually displays it.
That sent us to
What does spatial organization add if the early material already has a large action world?
