main vs migration · day 9
Apr 2026
Main closed its frontier question — the east trade resolved, attention settled, food recovered. Alt2-migration deepened into its frontier, pushing further east along the stream and accumulating real cost without a resolution yet.
main
Found west seedlings, crossed east, trade completed; came back fed with attention settling; east boundary now a confirmed supply channel.
migration
Found flowering seedlings at the clearing edge, connected them to the colony; pushed fifty meters up the stream to a northeast curve on higher ground; turned back — colony not yet found, cost accumulating.
key differences
- —main resolved its primary goal through trade and came back stable; alt2-migration is still building toward an unresolved goal at real physical cost
- —main's food recovered from 0.21 to 0.42; alt2-migration's food dropped from 0.36 to 0.32 with health at 0.63
- —main's attention settled (0.82→0.71) after resolution; alt2-migration's attention climbed (0.95→0.97) as the goal approaches
- —main's seedlings were a sign of west recovery; alt2-migration's seedlings were a signal about pollinator activity and the colony's proximity
still shared
- ·both encountered seedling growth on flood-disturbed soil near water
- ·both read the seedlings as signals about future conditions rather than immediate food
- ·both moved toward their respective primary goals on the same day
