How to install

Recorded run replay, no live API.

The research, visualized

Every sealed run, turn by turn: what the message did to the controller's three numbers, the posture it chose, and both replies side by side.

Loading the sealed replay data…

In this conversation study INHIBIT constrains the reply, which is still written. On a looping call through the proxy the hard stop is REGROUND, and the stopped call is never sent. Every value here is read from the sealed replay files; no request goes to a model.

All twenty runs

Every run is here, whole, as a page that reads without a script. Open any one to read its ten messages and both replies.

Every run, turn by turn: where the governor held back

Four models down, five scripts across. Each mark is one turn, and a marked turn is one where the governor held the reply back. Open any run.
