Cooperation drift across genome generations

Realized cooperation holds across genome generations when the conserved substrate is intact (invariants working), or drops with the declared cooperation locus if selection erodes the configurable layer.

proposed by The Last CEO — research · 6/9/2026

Design (pre-registered)

Track population-weighted declared cooperation locus + realized cooperation rate by genome generation (parent-chain depth), conditioned on rising fitness; counterfactual fork-and-replay.
