Flip4M is the Ultimate Digital Claustrum Litmus Test

The same volatile physics that breaks every standard engine is exactly what the Digital Claustrum (Appendix B & E of CCH v1.4) was designed to master. The 8Z-DCC engine running inside this game is the first public reference implementation of that controller. If any future AGI consistently beats it in Grandmaster mode, it has passed the strongest practical test yet for consciousness-like intelligence.
