### HE24: Can Something Other Than `A0` Open The `Ex` Selector Surface?
Goal:
- Determine whether `A0` is the main gate into the `E8` / `E9` / `EC` selector
surface, or whether other known meaningful host frames can provide similar
context.
Strategy:
- Keep the selector fixed.
- Change only the leading context frame.
- Use a small set of context candidates that have already shown real protocol
significance elsewhere:
- `00 00 A0 00 80 7A` as the known-good context
- `00 00 90 00 80 4A` because `90` has previously behaved like setup/context
- `00 00 AF 00 80 75` because `AF` has produced structured responses in other
sequences
- bare heartbeat `00 00 00 00 80 DA` as a minimal host-present control
What would count as a hit:
- a non-`A0` context causing `E8`, `E9`, or `EC` to open the same structured
branch we normally associate with `A0`
- a non-`A0` context causing a different but stable structured family
- all non-`A0` contexts collapsing to heartbeat-family transients, which would
make `A0` look much more like the main gate

Recommended run order:
1. `HE24c` (`90 -> EC`)
2. `HE24f` (`AF -> EC`)
3. `HE24i` (heartbeat -> `EC`)
4. `HE24a` / `HE24b` (`90 -> E8/E9`)
5. `HE24d` / `HE24e` (`AF -> E8/E9`)
6. `HE24g` / `HE24h` (heartbeat -> `E8/E9`)
That order keeps the most stateful selector (`EC`) first, which should tell us
quickly whether `A0` is special or whether there is a broader family of context
openers.

| `heartbeat -> E9` | `07 80 7A 28 D3 5C` |
| `heartbeat -> EC` | no `7B`; initial heartbeat provoked `07 80 40 40 30 ED`, then `EC` stayed heartbeat-only |
Interpretation:
- `A0` is **not** the only context opener for the `Ex` selector surface.
- `90` can stand in as a strong general context opener for all three tested
selectors:
- `E8` -> `7A 50 26`
- `E9` -> `7A 28 D3`
- `EC` -> `7B 50 26`
- `AF` can also open meaningful selector branches:
- `AF -> E9` matched the known `E9` family
- `AF -> EC` matched the known `EC` family
- `AF -> E8` shifted to the alternate sibling `FA 50 26` family instead of
`7A 50 26`
- Bare heartbeat is enough context for `E8` and `E9`, but **not** for `EC`.
`EC` still appears stricter and more context-sensitive than the `E8/E9`
branch pair.
Best current read:
- We are not looking at a single hard gate byte.
- We are looking at a broader **context-opener family**:
- `A0`
- `90`
- `AF`
- and, for at least `E8/E9`, even bare heartbeat context
- `E8` and `E9` seem easier to open than `EC`.
- `EC` may require a stronger or richer context class than plain heartbeat.
- `AF -> E8 -> FA 50 26` is especially interesting because it suggests the
context frame can influence **which sibling family** the selector opens, not
just whether it opens anything at all.

### S4: `A0`-Contexted Selector Space
### S4: Context-Opened Selector Space
Current best evidence says `A0` is not always just a neutral primer. On at
least the `EC` and `E8` branches, it appears to be part of the context that
opens the family space.
Current best evidence says the selector surface is opened not by a single magic
byte, but by a small family of host-side context setters.
Observed:
- `A0 + E8` can produce `7A 50 26` family output
- `A0 + EC` tends to produce `7B`-family output
- `E8` without `A0` fell back to `07 80 40 40 30 ED`
- `E9` without `A0` also fell back to `07 80 40 40 30 ED`
- `EC` without leading `A0` falls back to `07 80 C0 40 30 6D`
- `90 + E8` produced `7A 50 26`
- `90 + E9` produced `7A 28 D3`
- `90 + EC` produced `7B 50 26`
- `AF + E9` produced `7A 28 D3`
- `AF + EC` produced `7B 50 26`
- `AF + E8` produced the sibling `FA 50 26` family
- bare heartbeat + `E8` produced `7A 50 26`
- bare heartbeat + `E9` produced `7A 28 D3`
- bare heartbeat + `EC` did not open `7B`; it stayed in heartbeat-family
behavior
Nuance:
- `A0` is not the only opener.
- `A0` is not sufficient to make every selector deterministic.
- A later control repeat of `A0 + E9` produced heartbeat only, even though
earlier `A0 + E9` runs produced `07 80 7A 28 D3 5C`.
- `EC` appears stricter than `E8/E9`, because heartbeat alone was enough for
`E8/E9` but not for `EC`.
Confidence: high that `A0` is contextual; medium on the exact scope of that
context.
Confidence: high that a context-opener family exists; medium-high on the exact
rules for each selector.
