Measured on real robot logs, the sign of the value-write association χ is a property of the deployment regime: positive on recurrent long-horizon manipulation (ĥχ ≈ +1.0 × 10^{-3}, replicated at full power), null on a shorter-horizon suite, and negative on non-recurrent teleoperation.
Empirical measurement on real robot logs at a pre-specified gate; reports an estimated value ĥχ ≈ +1.0 × 10^{-3} for recurrent long-horizon manipulation and qualitatively reports null and negative signs for other regimes.
