This paper proposes a conceptual framework for evolving synthetic ecologies, addressing the relationship between developmental history, embodied experience, and the evolution of artificial intelligence systems. It examines how developmental diversity, divergent lineages, and forms of coordination may contribute to the long-term development of synthetic systems. The paper outlines a conceptual architecture, identifies a central research hypothesis, and proposes directions for future empirical investigation. The framework is presented as a conceptual research proposal requiring further analysis and empirical evaluation.
