MDPE.16:4.4 - Robotic Music: social gesture and control branches

A Shimon project can compare gesture-amplitude, gesture-timing, sensing, control, and actuation arrangements. Mechanical evidence from one configuration, social-gesture evidence from another, and musical-plausibility observations from a changing-tempo trial remain configuration-bound.

For a named performance trial, Shimon can be the performing Agent. The human project team is the practice-developing Agent that changes and maintains the branch set. A branch is live only while the named hardware, software, calibration, safety envelope, operators, score or improvisation interface, and representative run remain available. A configuration record without a successful current run is reconstruction input, not a live robotic-Music branch.
