Simulated body relearns to walk after leg weakness: 11.3m in 10s, caveats included

The author shares simulation results: halving a simulated body's leg strength made it fall in 0.66s, and after practice it relearned to walk the full 10 seconds covering 11.3m. In a hand tendon-transfer scenario, 8 of 9 gestures broke, 7 came back; relearning one gesture took 1.87M steps vs 37M for a new brain. Honest limits: one-hand pose never recovered to baseline, retrained legs fall at full strength, the 37M from-zero figure is one pose and one seed — all simulation, no patients.
