Terrain associations and selection sensitivity in the proposed Great Knife-Wielding Ape configuration

This exploratory report examines terrain associations in a proposer-defined African configuration using preserved geographic coordinates. It reports sampling sensitivity, coastline-conditioned alternatives and fixed-rule searches for nearby inland valleys. The main result is that apparent rarity changes with comparison and selection rules. All 67 source entries remain numerically unchanged; derived search paths are stored separately. Biological anatomy, manufacture, age and agency are not established. Code, numerical inputs, candidate outcomes and limitations accompany the report. Computational analysis and drafting used AI assistance. Status: exploratory technical report, version 0.6; not peer reviewed. The uploaded files comprise the six-page manuscript, a one-page public summary and a reproducibility archive for the principal terrain analyses (audits 007–009). The study does not validate the anatomy of the entire proposed figure.
