Two observable features account for major systematic behaviors in the repo: abstraction overhead predicts convergence strength (zero-abstraction streaming converges most strongly, abstraction-dependent strategies converge proportionally less), and judge reward signal predicts defensive investment (efficiency-improving conditions checked, robustness-improving conditions skipped). Together these two gradients explain the primary patterns in the repo's engineering profile, though other factors may contribute to behaviors not covered by these two dimensions.
Both depth-7 conclusions establish quantitative predictability from observable features but on different axes (convergence vs. defense); their conjunction closes the explanatory gap — the repo's behavior is emergent-deterministic, not emergent-chaotic.
