The answer, preserved in 1.4 MB of compressed text, is elegant. Partition the simulation. Weight the outcomes. Stop when confident. Log everything. Then move on and forget.

Furthermore, the HALT outcomes clustered at local maxima of the weight function. When the weight exceeded +0.8, the next state vector was almost certain to be HALT . That’s a stopping condition —the simulation automatically terminated a trial when confidence in the outcome exceeded a threshold. sep-trial.slf

The TRIAL indicates that this partition was part of an experimental run, not a production model. The weights (negative allowed) suggest a control variates method: negative weights reduce variance in the final estimator. The answer, preserved in 1
