Experiment 7: Affect Geometry Verification

Question: Does the geometric affect structure predicted by the thesis actually appear? RSA between structural affect (Space A) and behavioral affect (Space C).

Seed	$\rho(A,C)$ range	Significant	Trend
123	-0.09 to 0.72	2/5	Strong at low pop
42	-0.17 to 0.39	4/7	Mixed
7	0.01 to 0.38	5/7	Increasing (0.01 to 0.24)

Finding: Structure-behavior alignment in 8/19 snapshots. Seed 7 shows evolutionary trend. A-B alignment null (structure maps to behavior but not communication).
