V29: Social Prediction

Period: 2026-02-19. Substrate: but target = mean energy of neighbors (instead of own energy).

Seed mean/max Φ\intinfo mean/max
420.143 / 0.2430.079 / 0.128
1230.106 / 0.1670.071 / 0.091
70.062 / 0.1100.119 / 0.245

3-seed mean Φ=0.104\intinfo = 0.104, suggested "social lift." Seeds 42/123 jump dramatically; seed 7 drops. Social target changes which seeds succeed.

Verdict at the time: Strong positive. But see V31 for the correction.
