finding:stress-sharing-embryos-achieve-perfect-sequential-target-patterns-non-sharing-limited-to-1-improvement

Stress-sharing embryos achieve perfect sequential target patterns; non-sharing limited to <1% improvement.

Stress-sharing embryos formed each sequential target with stress reducing to zero; non-sharing achieved only tiny improvements.
