The test at a glance
Living Worlds predicted each new arrangement of a room before it was measured, from those measured so far, and beat memory of the nearest measurements in all 20 seeded orders, where 18 were needed, and in 133 of the 160 configurations it predicted. The room is public (dEchorate): walls, ceiling and floor each bare or covered in absorbing panels, measured with 30 microphones and 7 loudspeakers. Registered before any decay in this room was computed. Errors sit near 10% of the decay time.
