E13c (the symmetry defense): alignment now runs modulo the FULL function-preserving unit symmetry group of a ReLU MLP (per-unit positive rescaling via canonicalise_scale, composed with Re-Basin permutations; sanity gate recovers a permuted-and-rescaled copy exactly). Verdict: the full group removes the independent-init barrier (residual 0.001) and essentially none of the conflict barrier (0.502 -> 0.497) — the residual is functional, not a missed symmetry (answers arXiv:2606.23607). The cliff gains a hybrid-fitness readout: merged accuracy 0.97 -> 0.03 with conflict. Floor proposition drafted (paper/si-notes.md S1): endpoint invariance + max(eps_A, eps_B) >= mu(S)/2 for any merged model under any alignment group. E13b (emergent divergence): pre-registered second reading — with NO conflicting training signal (disjoint class specialists; rolled-input conventions), residual is 0.000 at every divergence to t_div=3200, and the merge RESCUES the forgetting specialists (parents 0.535/0.474 -> merged 0.955; a sustained Fisher-Muller rescue at zero barrier). Speciation in real weights requires functional conflict; it does not emerge from compatible specialisation on shared ancestry. LLM-scale over-specialisation (cf. 2607.11997) deferred to Phase-3 llm_speciation. 3-panel figure, READMEs, +2 tests (149 green), make mnist wired.
