Experiment 6: Self-Model Emergence

Question: When does a pattern predict itself better than an external observer can?

Result: Weak signal at bottleneck only. $\rho_{\text{self}} \approx 0$ everywhere. $\text{SM}_{\text{sal}} > 1$ appears once: seed 123, cycle 20, one pattern at $\text{SM}_{\text{sal}} = 2.28$ .
