One wheel changes.
Learning continues.
A simulated rover follows targets. Weaken its right wheel and watch how learning changes its motion predictions and control.
Return probe: learning is disabled for every model. These measurements test the state retained after the weak wheel. Resume learning to measure relearning separately.
The same controller. Two learning conditions.
rover path ⊕ targetCadence frozen
Cadence learns motion; the shared controller chooses actions. Every model receives commands and odometry. The wheel strength and change signal are hidden from the models.
Inside the live model
PATCH READBACKLocal settled states and prediction errors from the running Cadence patches.
Motion prediction error
RECORDED SAMPLESLower is better. Error scale and history come from the simulator.
Technical comparisons
Same sensors · same action selection · separate experienceTargets reached by phase
REACHED / ATTEMPTEDThe return probe disables learning. Relearning starts from that same life. A dash means this phase has no recorded attempts.

Totals include the active target attempt. Each target has the same time budget. Frozen Cadence keeps its bootstrap state throughout.

REPRODUCIBLE LIFESave the full simulation state to resume the same life in this page, or export the measurements and experiment settings.
Restoring a checkpoint tests continuation. Return to normal mechanics measures performance with the learned state kept in place.
Experiment scope & measurement details +
This is a differential-drive simulation of a learned body model inside a supplied target controller. A single displayed run does not establish an advantage over adaptive or neural baselines, physical robot performance, or protected memory.
Targets reached count completed targets; attempts include target timeouts. Compute time includes model prediction, action selection and learning. The run record and receipt identify the protocol and phase measurements.
Every model and the rover body run in this page, in a worker beside the display. The Cadence brains use a JavaScript edition of the population solver of cadence-net 0.70.0, checked against the Python library. While the tab is hidden the life waits.
