We were asking
Immediately around formation, does the high-score direction reliably switch from narrowing futures to widening them?
Flow Lenia / orientation
Formation Rotates the Causal Compass
The visible boundary reorganized which microscopic actions counted as high-score and low-score, but it did not rotate every organism toward one common future effect.
libraryprospective null-and-rotation test
This experiment found
No universal negative-to-positive flip appeared; the action ranking changed strongly, while the later future effect remained individual and the mean turn went downward.
That sent us to
Can an organism-specific alignment rule forecast which action will constrain its future at a given age?
