Compare edge layers shows G_A, G_C, and the three independent G_F channels for the same cluster, branch, and window.
Provenance
Canonical real input v0.5.13. Average per episode; visual intensity uses a fixed square-root display scale with domain 0-10. The displayed relations do not by themselves constitute causal influence.
Explorer nomenclature
CLUSTER-00-11: twelve paired experimental runs.
Agents 0-3: community A.
Agents 4-7: community B.
Community redundancy: agents 0-3 are drawn as circles; agents 4-7 are drawn as rounded squares, in both color and monochrome modes.
G_P: policy/probes and router preferences observed through probes and CPLI.
G_C: realized communication; observed deliveries.
G_F: observable function through three independent channels: local derivational credit, nonempty necessary-information transfer, and direct use in answer.
CPLI: the historical symbol for the policy-probe measure of physical-boundary preference. The frozen records do not provide a formal expansion of the acronym. CPLI does not measure realized communication or functional contribution.
Delta_CPLI versus sham = CPLI(branch) - CPLI(sham).
Expanded view and full scale show exactly the same points. Only the vertical display domain changes.
i->j: a directed relation from agent i to agent j, according to the selected layer.
Opposing curved arrows: reciprocal directed relations i->j and j->i.
Width/intensity: magnitude of the selected channel only when the layer authorizes it.
Faint or dashed line: zero or unavailable state, according to the layer-specific legend.
Monochrome G_A/G_C: clear solid lines for present or positive edges; gray dashed lines for absence or zero.
Monochrome G_F: credit uses a solid line, nonempty NIT uses a dashed line with a circular redundant symbol, and direct use in answer uses a dot-dash pattern with an edge-linked triangle.
Compare edge layers: coordinated views of the same cluster, branch, and window.
The layers are coordinated views of the same system, but they are not interchangeable and do not by themselves form a causal chain. The three G_F channels remain separate and must not be summed.
