The body learns its own response.

A fixed local write loses leverage as development proceeds. Whole-state feedback can pull a mature body toward chosen shapes, although restricted observers find competitive routes and the comparative edge reverses after release. At the same time, a specimen-or-genotype-specific causal passport is already detectable across the first age interval we tested.

01

What can a local action write?

The same swap command enters an older body less, and the disturbance travels less far through its future.

02

Can feedback choose a body?

Yes while active. But whole-state access has no resolved unique edge over limited observers, replay, and sham.

03

Does response become personal?

Across ages, the reaction pattern becomes re-identifiable to the same specimen or genotype beyond a fixed passive summary.

01 · Developmental impedance

The same poke stops meaning the same thing.

Across nineteen ages, three intervention seeds, and 7,296 treated futures, older bodies admitted less immediate shape change and propagated less downstream displacement. This is not a metaphorical stiffness score; it is the measured response of this local-swap actuator.

The actuator has to ask for more while writing less.

By age 780 the matching procedure selected a mean dose of 0.540, up from 0.054 at age 60, while realized +4 entry still fell.

Frozen · matched +240−0.0087

Late minus early downstream D4 distance; 95% interval [−0.0108, −0.0068], all 16 group contrasts in the same direction.

Geometric late/early dose ratio; interval [8.52, 10.40], 16/16 groups positive.

Post-hoc · macro write per matter92% lower

Fixed-command D4 change per realized matter L1; factor 0.080, 16/16 groups lower late.

The approximately matched arm is informative because it bends in the same direction, but it is not an exact equal-entry experiment: only 51.5% of its 3,648 records landed within 25% of the target. The post-hoc common-support analysis keeps the late +240 reduction inside the overlap region; it strengthens the impedance reading without retroactively turning the matching into something it was not.

Older bodies damp the disturbance over every measured horizon.

Each cell is an observed group-mean D4 distance, not a schematic. Color is log-scaled so the smallest late-age responses remain visible.

The controller can move the body while it is holding it.

Both mature target-level effects were positive with intervals above zero; averaging across both targets, all sixteen family means were positive. The more surprising result is architectural: once the frozen sham comparator is restored, whole-state access does not separate from the strongest restricted, replay, or sham route.

Achievement survives; unique advantage and developmental gain do not.

The first row asks whether whole-state control moves the mature body relative to doing nothing. The next two ask whether it beats every predeclared comparator and gains more leverage with age. The final row was held out until the controller-release comparison.

Restricted observers find different routes through the same action book.

Whole versus partition agrees on the first action 75/192 times; whole versus local agrees 63/192 times. Sequence disagreement shows nonredundant policy inputs, not an information-theoretic quantity.

A specimen-or-genotype-specific reaction pattern survives a fixed passive-state subtraction.

The response vector contains 3,504 features across signed native and orthogonal probes, three horizons, scalar summaries, and visible-field structure. Residualization removes only the linear component predicted by 17 predefined passive visible and hidden summaries.

frozen passport rule
Earliest tested residual margin0.231

Interval [0.186, 0.271]; 17/18 groups positive.

Earliest top-1 retrieval16.7%

Frozen 99% identity-permutation bound 9.7%; chance is 1.4%.

Late residual margin0.232

q48→q64 interval [0.191, 0.277], all 18 groups positive even as pooled top-1 retrieval crowds.

The q48→q64 pooled top-1 drop is not a loss of individuality: the same-specimen margin remains positive in all eighteen groups. The source-bound split analysis below resolves the apparent collapse as address reorganization and crowding in pooled visible-field space.

04 · Hidden composition

The hidden transplant moves response, but not specifically toward its donor.

Aligned donor composition produces a positive donor-axis projection at q24 and q48. Phase-scrambling the same hidden-energy budget does too, and the paired aligned-minus-scrambled contrast crosses zero at both ages. Hidden composition matters here; its donor arrangement is not identified as the carrier of the passport.

Aligned composition moves donor-ward, but no more than scrambled compositionAt ages 24 and 48 both aligned and phase-scrambled transplants project positively toward the donor. Their paired difference crosses zero at both ages.−0.1+0.0+0.1+0.2+0.3+0.4+0.5q24 aligned near+0.389 [+0.355, +0.425]q24 phase-scrambled+0.414 [+0.383, +0.443]q24 near − scrambled−0.025 [−0.054, +0.005]q48 aligned near+0.382 [+0.352, +0.415]q48 phase-scrambled+0.359 [+0.334, +0.383]q48 near − scrambled+0.023 [−0.009, +0.058]projection on the host-to-donor passport axis

05 · Source-bound open map

The passport is distributed across scale, time, sign, and probe family.

This panel opens the completed response surface without running new physics. Every slice was chosen after the primary result was known, so it maps where the signature lives rather than confirming another primary.

audit replay

The stored primary was reproduced exactly.

max Δ = 0

An independent source-bound implementation recovered the primary passport and transplant quantities without numerical drift.

strict within-quartet

The earliest passport survives a closer neighborhood.

0.194

q12→q24 residual margin against only the other three members of each frozen quartet; interval [0.143, 0.245], 17/18 groups positive. Within-quartet top-1 is 59.7% against 25% chance.

scalar vs field

The address lives in geometry, not just totals.

0.253 vs 0.038

Visible-field features pass the frozen gate; 384 scalar features alone do not. The scalar margin interval [-0.008, 0.082] crosses zero.

response horizon

The clearest address appears after the response unfolds.

t80.127
t320.161
t1280.243

Each bar is the q12→q24 residual same-specimen margin. Isolated t8 and t32 slices do not pass the frozen gate; t128 does.

probe axes + sign

No single direction owns the passport.

native0.225
orthogonal0.234
positive0.228
negative0.231

Native and orthogonal probes, and positive and negative signs, each pass when isolated. Their similar margins point to a distributed reaction structure.

per anchor

Three of four probe locations pass alone.

A010.252
A020.222
A030.216
A040.231

All four anchors retain positive mean margins; A03 alone misses its own permutation gate. The signature is broad, but not spatially uniform.

hidden response

Hidden composition carries a strong address too.

0.237

Across 432 hidden-response features, q12→q24 top-1 is 45.8% and within-quartet top-1 is 87.5%. This still cannot separate specimen identity from genotype because every specimen has a unique genotype.

pooled vs split · q48→q64

The late address is crowded, not erased.

6.9% pooled

Pooled visible top-1 falls below its 8.3% null bound, yet the strict within-quartet margin is 0.236, within-quartet top-1 is 56.9%, and hidden top-1 remains 36.1%. This is pooled-visible address reorganization and crowding, not loss of individuality.

transplant sensitivity

Re-encoding perturbs the host; donor alignment adds no specific transfer.

−0.025 · +0.023

Aligned-near minus phase-scrambled donor-axis projection at q24 and q48. Both intervals cross zero. Near-donor host-response distance exceeds self re-encode by 40.23 at q24 and 21.64 at q48, showing disruption without donor-passport specificity.

What these swings changed

Rigidity is not convergence, and control is not identity.

The body becomes harder to write, remains actively steerable, loses that comparative edge after release, and carries a re-identifiable response signature. Those facts coexist because they describe different axes.

1

Development changes intervention physics.

Older bodies admit less macro shape change per command and per realized microscopic write.

2

Whole-state feedback is effective, not uniquely privileged.

It reaches both target families relative to sham while restricted observers find competitive routes.

3

Active control does not imply a self-maintaining state.

The held-out comparative advantage reverses after the controller leaves.

4

A causal passport is already detectable at our first interval.

Onset is left-censored, and the signature is specimen-or-genotype-specific under this cohort design.

5

Hidden composition perturbs the passport without specifically transferring it.

Aligned donor structure does not beat its phase-scrambled energy-matched control.

The complete machine-readable image inventory, hashes, source fields, and rendering rules live beside this report in source-manifest.json. Every PNG is embedded as a data URI; every chart is inline SVG; the q48 composition panels decode the four bound f32 state patches in-page.

The passport analysis was independently reimplemented against the frozen receipts with maximum absolute difference 0. The source-bound exploration repeats that audit result and keeps its additional slices explicitly post-hoc.
