TWO 4D RESEARCH JOURNEYS

Many routes.
Different destinations.

Two projects, 30 steps each. Watch ten candidates branch out, meet obstacles, recover or stop, then converge into contributions. Real methods and benchmarks; scripted outcomes.

          Illustrative workflow and scripted branch counts, not reported experimental results. The two-second playback compresses research decisions; each experiment window is eight hours, with verified results, human batch-end review and explicit carryover. The full map retains 16 modules, 84 tasks and 221 conditional connections.
