We were asking
How many developmental exits are available inside one visible present when hidden phase is varied?
Flow Lenia / hidden-state
One Body, Opposite Futures
Changing only the spatial phase of hidden composition sent the same visible body toward futures on both sides of its native trajectory, and some sampled directions exceeded the intact donor future.

This experiment found
Most starting states opened routes on both sides, while distance from the intact pattern barely predicted where a phase direction would lead.
That sent us to
Are any phase directions readable across unrelated organisms, or is the vocabulary entirely body-specific?
