***********************************************************************
MM b/17 --- Paper a7: h* (Causal Concentration and Experimental Test)
***********************************************************************

At any moment, someone bears maximal causal responsibility for what
happens next. Paper a7 develops the h* theorem --- the formal claim
that causal concentration produces a unique individual whose choices
disproportionately shape the trajectory of the system. But h* need not
know they are h*, need not hold visible power, and the role is not
permanent. The paper's most distinctive contribution is proposing an
*experimental* test of the entire 7-paper system: a concrete way to
check whether the formal predictions match reality.

**Dependencies:** Builds on PET (a1), e7He (a3), and JUB (a4).

.. admonition:: Model in development

   The formal model for this paper has not yet been compiled into this
   folder. The paper prompt exists in
   :doc:`/matheology/heaven/study/aaa`.
   When the model is ready, frozen snapshots will appear here with the
   same version-tracking discipline used for PET (a1) and JUB (a4).

.. admonition:: Final consistency check

   After all 7 papers are complete, a BABL-vs-ZION adversarial review
   will check the entire series for internal consistency. This is the
   capstone of the project's commitment to transparent, testable AI work.
