V29: Social Prediction
V29: Social Prediction
Period: 2026-02-19. Substrate: V27 but target = mean energy of neighbors (instead of own energy).
| Seed | V29 mean/max | V27 mean/max |
|---|---|---|
| 42 | 0.143 / 0.243 | 0.079 / 0.128 |
| 123 | 0.106 / 0.167 | 0.071 / 0.091 |
| 7 | 0.062 / 0.110 | 0.119 / 0.245 |
3-seed mean , suggested "social lift." Seeds 42/123 jump dramatically; seed 7 drops. Social target changes which seeds succeed.
Verdict at the time: Strong positive. But see V31 for the correction.
