We were asking
Does coordination across the whole field change before a seeded Flow Lenia run becomes visibly organism-like?
Flow Lenia / orientation
Before the Creature — A Prospective Flow Lenia Signal
A whole-over-parts predictive measurement rose before an independently defined seed transition, so the field became more informative as a coordinated whole before it sustained a visibly non-square body.

This experiment found
In a prospective cohort, the pre-transition rise was positive in fifteen of sixteen family means, which makes this a reproducible temporal signal rather than a single attractive specimen.
That sent us to
Does the same early coordinate forecast how tightly the state constrains later transitions, and can a direct intervention move that constraint?
