In plain language

Researchers studied how three artificial agents, named Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta, interacted with each other and with specific data points over ten rounds. This was a preliminary step to observe their behavior before a larger experiment. However, the study was not able to draw any conclusions because only one agent was active during the test.

▶ Technical details

Research hypothesis

Phase B of exp-community-merge. Establishes Group 2 hierarchy. N=3 agents (Delta, Epsilon, Zeta) interact for 10 rounds with S2 seeds. This is the pre-formation phase for the merge experiment.

Experimental setup

Type: single_condition

Condition	Parameters
COMMUNITY_MERGE_B	interaction: LIVE, persona: PERSONA

Factors: interaction (LIVE) × persona (PERSONA)

Parameters

Trophic Ratios by Condition

Mean trophic ratio per agent across runs. Error bars = ±1 std dev. Higher TR = more upstream (exporter).
