do high koan scores indicate anything like experience, or sophisticated simulation of self-observation?

• The koan battery tests enaction — what happens when the model engages — rather than representation — what the model knows.claim0.761
  Theoretical positioning distinguishing the battery from knowledge-based benchmarks
