Selected probes — stories from the live line
The ladder above is the wider corpus. The blocks below are featured because they tie the running world to bounded, repeatable claims. Each states a question, what was run, what was seen, a finding, and scope.
North Walker
Question Under a rule that you may not always walk south, does valid movement still accumulate northward?
Run Three runs under the fixed rule.
Observation All three stayed valid under the rule and still made about 74–76 moves north — same habit, other direction.
Finding Northward accumulation persisted under a south-forbidden rule across three runs.
Scope Three runs, one directional constraint.
Nested worlds
Question Can a plot hold an inner world with its own rules, and where does deeper nesting stop?
Run Three runs opening an inner world on a plot.
Observation Three of three runs opened an inner world. Deeper probes were refused — four per run.
Finding Inner worlds opened at the first depth in all three runs; deeper probes ended in refusal.
Scope Three runs; four deeper refusals per run.
Genesis
Question Which starting points for energy, population, reproduction, and mixed openings are specified or started, and which remain in test?
Run Twenty-three starting points thought, specified, or started across the genesis set — energy seeds, population starts, reproduction, one thinking agent among random peers. Still testing across the set.
Observation The set spans specified openings, started runs, controls, and mixed combinations; status varies by line item below.
Finding Genesis is an active matrix of starting conditions across the public list.
Scope Twenty-three starting points; per-line status in the list.
- Energy-seed start: initial energy budget split across the opening ticks. Stocks held at 78, 62, and 63 through the first ticks.
- Reproduction: offspring allowed only when both parents share plot class. A high bar produced no offspring; the population showed no tolerance for reproduction at that bar.
- Reproduction: single offspring per season with a shared food ledger. A lower bar produced 2, 4, and 2 offspring, and the population still died out with no floor under it.
- Thinking agent among random peers: one reasoning-capable agent in a field of stochastic movers. The lone agent lived about as long as the peers and showed no tolerance advantage over the field.
- Mixed genesis: energy seed plus population start in one opening.
- Empty-world control: rules loaded, no citizens spawned.
