Finding 7 reports opposing stability orderings but does not define or test equilibrium-trajectory separation.

The proposed equilibrium-trajectory separation is not supported by the sweep. The sweep reports opposite orderings between Mode A and Mode B on two coefficients of variation, one computed on a separation ratio and one on a per-round competence gain, with effect sizes of 60-400x and 3-7x. Those coef ficients are stability statistics of simulated trajectories. They do not define or test an equilibrium-trajectory separation.
