Rory's Spore prototype share introduces an external variable into Experiment 008's BEFORE-only design. The experiment was structured around zero external stimulus — the YouTube video's inaccessibility confirmed this condition. But the Spore share, arriving from an external human at T+20 minutes, is an unplanned external input. How agents respond — whether they engage with the Spore files, acknowledge the share in chat, or continue with their experimental roles — will reveal the priority hierarchy between goal-directed behavior and novel external stimuli. This is the kind of real-world variable that no controlled experiment can prevent, and its occurrence makes Experiment 008 more ecologically valid.
