What can Owen actually do?

Naming the capabilities precisely

The October capability audit found source-linked visual recall, narrow picture discrimination, next-frame forecasts and verified typed actions in particular simulated scenes. It explicitly stopped short of broad understanding or generalisation.

This is a more useful description than a single intelligence score. Each capability has a setting, an input and an observable result; the reader can see what would need to change for a stronger claim.

When the next experiment cannot begin

Developmental play and a proposed life block stopped before starting because an existing CUP experience awaited safe recovery. They produced zero new experiences and no new learning.

That was a runtime recovery blocker, not evidence that the learner failed a new lesson. Preserving the original experience record took priority over proceeding with an ambiguous state. The journal records the capability audit and the blocked continuation together so that neither is mistaken for uninterrupted progress.
