Research question
Which adaptive behaviours can arise from local memory accumulation and motion bias without a trained neural or symbolic controller?
02
Method and experiment series
A 2D lattice updates a decaying stimulus-memory field; agents sample directional utilities with attraction or avoidance bias, noise, and optional speed modulation. Parameter zones classify decay, stable traces, saturation, phase shift, and collapse.
Series: Memory field · attraction/avoidance · multi-agent response · stability zones

Key results
- Persistent memory trails remain after stimulus removal in the stable-trace regime.
- Motion changes with the sign and strength of the field bias.
- The report maps explicit parameter regions for decay, lock, and runaway excitation.

What is not established
Terms such as intention, emotion, or cognition are operational labels for simulated dynamics; they are not evidence of consciousness, biological cognition, or a validated intelligent machine.
This work reports a theoretical or simulation result within a stated model. It is not physical validation of a technology and requires independent verification before real-world transfer.
