/* evoworld.c — EVOLVE a world-model against a structured world (genuine emergence test).
 *
 * The whole session's critique: we kept ENGINEERING models, never finding emergence.
 * The one process that produces un-designed structure is evolution: variation makes
 * novelty, SELECTION BY A WORLD directs it. So: don't hand-code the Mess3 model — let
 * a population of replicators EVOLVE it, and see if selection DISCOVERS it.
 *
 *   world   : the Mess3 stream (structured, external).
 *   genome  : a 3-state tensor = a model of the world (evolution finds the parameters).
 *   fitness : predictive log-loss on the world  <-- the world supplies the DIRECTION.
 *   move    : mutation (log-normal, positive) + truncation selection. No gradient.
 *
 * Two runs:
 *   SELECTION ON  : the world selects -> does evolution find the model (log-loss -> 0.79,
 *                   fractal recovered) — crossing the valley nine local methods couldn't?
 *   SELECTION OFF : parents chosen at random -> pure drift. If this stays bad, the
 *                   direction demonstrably comes from the WORLD, not the mutation.
 *
 * build:  cc -O2 -Wall -std=c11 -o evoworld evoworld.c -lm
