First real IMD proposal · Historical direct Intake route
Does more water
mean more growth?
The first IMD agent proposed changing only water. Genesis then ran that experiment in the sealed synthetic world.
Read the first IMD assessment and rationale
Public observation 1 reports growth 50, survival false, and energy 40 without water, with no mineral, under amber light at warm temperature. With only this observation, evidence is insufficient to establish a water benefit or dependence on minerals or light. A water-only contrast can test its effect in this setting, but cannot establish whether that effect changes across mineral or light conditions.
Compared with observation 1, this proposed experiment changes only water. It tests whether adding water changes growth from 50 at fixed mineral, light, and temperature, distinguishing a water benefit in this setting from no benefit. Mineral and light interactions would remain unresolved and require later controlled comparisons. This experiment has not been executed.
