Something has to
hold the door.
Some gates need continuous pressure. Others linger after release. Learn each material in a single room, then carry its timing into a room with several gates and crates. Connections must be discovered again.
Move into the crate to push it. Manual moves pause automatic play and still supply observations. A blocked move costs one action.
Does the rule travel to another room?
Twelve seeds. Train on the three individual materials, then test four unseen two-gate combinations with four controls and a 160-action limit. Layout variation is limited to reflection and plate indexing. The separate author witness never enters the controller.
A curriculum that changes the room.
Mutate an archived room, evaluate its learner and up to three donors, and keep solvable pairs. Three seeds, six generations each, up to three gates. These are selected training cases, separate from the comparison above.
