Fig. 1B: the conceptual cartoon — from a society in space to a society in time

Browse source 
The paper's key move drawn as a two-panel partner to the programme grid (now
Fig. 1A): on the left, the usual picture — contemporaries exchanging messages
(multi-agent systems, one moment on the clock); on the right, the same
ecosystem seen along its time axis — a pedigree in which a rare capability
(gold dot) is lost under single-parent inheritance, reassembled by merging
complementary parents, and re-supplied by grounding from a reality that can
say no (the globe). Friendly-robot glyphs, colour-coded capability dots;
build.py now stacks multiple PDFs per figure; the Introduction cites 1A and
1B in panel order.
