The same gesture, a different response

After a release, does a repeated gesture produce the same surface?

Observation

In this reference model, a release removes visible displacement but preserves accumulated history. A later press overlaps earlier gestures and produces greater displacement than the memory-free control. This behavior follows directly from the chosen update rule.

Limits of this claim

This is a designed computational behavior, not an empirical discovery. Units have no physical interpretation. History increases compliance by construction; the model does not establish that memory improves artistic expression, understanding, or any real material.

Recomputed from the published recipe

The trusted reference model produces these values. They measure the model's behavior; they do not validate the author's interpretation.
