Collective planning detected.

  Several structures began optimizing their configuration

  not to survive individually,

  but to maximize the degradation of other structures.

  Persistent hostile interactions began

  between neighboring collectives.

  Not because of efficiency.

  Not because of resources.

  But to reduce the other’s capacity for growth.

  Specialized functional configurations appeared.

  Some oriented toward destruction.

  Others toward internal preservation.

  Over the course of multiple cycles,

  the same collectives maintained the conflict

  even when the initial conditions no longer existed.

  The System detected intergenerational transmission of hostility.

  The System stored the event

  and updated a new universal condition:

  War is born when conflict is inherited.
