SPEC §5 built: three skill domains (forage/woodcraft/masonry) that pay off and grow by practice; proximity diffusion soul-calibrated by absorption x teaching-drive; and mortality - the piece that makes knowledge generational. Elders die (~150-230 days), everything unshared dies with them, a youth comes of age near knowing nothing. North soul (absorption 1.6, teaching 0.9) vs South (1.0, 0.3); East teaches no one. Two findings: (1) headless soaks were contaminated by orphaned child processes writing later runs' CSVs - fixed with StopAfterDays clean self-terminate; (2) passive diffusion barely helped - the North's real culture is the young seeking elders on purpose, so added deliberate teacher-seeking and youths now cradle beside the wisest elder. North now leads knowledge at every checkpoint, but a stable town approaches the ceiling regardless, so teaching is a recovery advantage not an equilibrium one. The crisis-recovery experiment is the real test, noted in FINDINGS as next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
