What does this research mean for the field?

Exclusively replaying a single target trace is insufficient to produce target-specific latent reachability, as the perturbation covariance is not selectively directed toward the trace's private structural directions. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To determine whether exclusively replaying an individual target trace directs calibrated perturbation covariance selectively toward that trace's private structural identity.

To determine whether exclusively replaying an individual target trace directs calibrated perturbation covariance selectively toward that trace's private structural identity.
Evaluated truth-known closure-epoch machinery across canonical and chain-overlap motifs.
Restricted the replay list at each step to a single target trace, an incorrect trace, all traces, or no trace, comparing analytical covariance to direct Monte Carlo rollouts.
Aggregate calibration and Monte Carlo seed stability held, but exclusive-target ratios remained near one (analytical 0.995–1.009; Monte Carlo 0.987–1.006), well below the preregistered 1.5 minimum.
Target ratios never cleared the 0.25 margin over identity controls, with diagnostics revealing the per-step Jacobian is block diagonal per branch when translation_budget equals 0.0.

Implication

Simulation analysis reveals that exclusive trace replay fails to generate target-specific latent reachability, indicating replay identity alone does not direct structural covariance.
