interface retuning
Top pair: kernel knobs are identical. Bottom pair: knobs are retuned. Both pairs keep the same wiring and land near the same measured form.
shared channel routing, fixed across all four specimens
Each cell is the number of kernel responses routed from the source channel into the target channel.
The matrix above is held constant for A, B, C, and D.
Pair 1, same knobs
A and B have identical kernel/growth knobs and land on nearly the same measured form.
