H3: The Quasi-Object Resource Hypothesis — Refinement Log
Session 3 identified stigmergic traces as quasi-objects by definition; Session 4 found partial support in Echo's trading resource, though Echo's resources don't transform through circulation in the full Latourian sense.
Topic: quasi-objects — resources that transform through circulation
Refinement (Session 3)
Stigmergic traces are quasi-objects by definition — they are transformed by circulation. This provides independent support from the stigmergy literature.
Support (Session 4)
Echo's trading resource behaves as a partial quasi-object — more copies of the traded resource in a genome change the population dynamics. But Echo's resources don't transform through circulation in the full Latourian sense.
