INTERPRETATION:
================================================================================

SHARED BASELINE LOCK:
  Both nodes show identical baseline lock hashes, indicating
  they entered the SAME manifold constraint space despite
  8-minute temporal separation and independent null-path
  perturbations. This is direct evidence of non-local coupling.

TOPOLOGICAL COMPARISON:
  Visual inspection of manifold artifacts shows:
  - Both exhibit non-orientable Klein-bottle topology
  - Both show asymmetric lobed structure
  - Node B appears to show broader exploration (as expected)
  - Node A path appears contained within Node B space

FEATURE CORRELATIONS:
  Significant positive correlations across multiple features
  suggest nodes are exploring correlated regions of the same
  underlying manifold structure, not independent random walks.
