That led to experiments. The team fed processed variants into controlled environments: chemical baths, crystal growth chambers, simulated ecosystems. Under the influence of the signal’s rhythms, patterns of growth favored symmetries the team had not predicted. Crystals formed with facets echoing the folded modules. Microbial colonies arranged in branched lattices that matched the plotted pulses. The interventions were small, ethical, careful—and yet something in each experiment felt like the signal answering back, like a question being tested and then answered in the language of matter.
