THE ACTUAL MOVEMENT.
Agent mode, tool-use chains, multi-agent systems and embodied robots distributed attention and decision-making across components. Physical systems added sensor fusion, motion and environmental feedback.
COHERENCE IS NOT QUALIA.
Material movement. Coordination and embodiment increased system-level coherence, persistence and environmental coupling.
No material movement. Networked capability and a body did not demonstrate subjective experience.
DON'T CONFUSE IMPRESSIVE WITH PROVEN.
The interesting mind-shaped object was no longer one model. It was the loop between models, memory, tools, bodies and infrastructure.
