1. What This Chamber Tests
This chamber tests which operator grammars are permitted to persist and generate utility under recursion.
It does not search for optimal performance, convergence, or improvement. Each variant represents a
pre-registered hypothesis about grammatical structure, not a discovered configuration.
2. How to Read Survival (Panel B)
- Survival curves show veto action, not stability gain
- Early termination is an expected and meaningful outcome
- A flat curve at low survival is not failure by default
- Dead seeds remain visible as dead; they are not noise
3. How to Read Projection (Panel C)
- Projection is binary and brittle
- Partial or transient projection does not count toward stability
- High admissibility does not imply projection (Axiom A1)
- The 70% threshold marks the hypothesis criterion, not a success line
4. How to Read Utility (Panel D)
- Utility is evaluated via median G∘, not mean
- Isolated high-utility seeds do not constitute a utility island
- Most variants are expected to show G∘ ≈ 0
- The 30-35% G₂ band marks a structural boundary, not a target
5. What the UI Does Not Tell You
- The UI does not explain causal mechanisms
- The UI does not imply substrate preference
- The UI does not rank grammars by importance
- Visualization emphasizes measurement, not interpretation
