PHILIA-EcoSensory Swarm v55 Phase 2B: x-Drift as Intrinsic Emergent Property — COUPLE_XZ Ablation & GearboxX Restoration via Pre-registered 6-Cell Study

We present PHILIA-EcoSensory Swarm v55 Phase 2B, a pre-registered 6-cell ablation study (800 runs, N=20/40, seeds 442–481, T=80,000 steps) designed to determine whether x-axis drift in PHILIA-EcoSensory Swarm systems is a coupling artifact or an intrinsic property of population-level dynamics. Primary findings:- Q3 = INTRINSIC: removing COUPLE_XZ yields x_dev_max = 0.0206 (pre-registered threshold 0.020, margin 0.0006; Cohen's d_paired = 0.594). Coupling alone is insufficient to explain x-drift.- Q4 = PARTIAL: linear GearboxX reduces x_dev from 0.0206 to 0.0103 (50%), within PARTIAL range (0.010–0.015).- Q5 = MONOTONIC: E2(0.0256) ≥ E4(0.0232) ≥ E3(0.0206).- §Conclusions Decision Tree → CASE_B: explicit COUPLE_XZ is a partial cause; T_XZ implicit coupling shows no detectable effect under current experimental resolution; an additional mechanism exists. Exploratory finding: cell_E6 (COUPLE default + GearboxX ON) achieves x_dev = 0.0038 (RESTORATION territory, hypothesis-generating, not pre-registered as primary verdict).
