01 — STRUCTURE FROM NECESSITY

Give it a need.
Watch it grow.

A small conductive world turns activity into architecture. Change the task and watch the network recruit, strengthen, and prune connections—without prescribing its topology.

✳THE EXPERIMENTInputs create a physical field. The field tells local edges how much they help. Useful connections grow, competing for a finite material budget.
