In plain language

Replication r2 of competency rotation test. Rotation=0: Standard order (Alpha→Beta→Gamma). Direct comparison with exp-asym baseline ordering. Different seed prevents seed confound.

Research hypothesis

COMPETENCY ROTATION REPLICATION (exp-competency-rotation-r2)

Rotation=0: Standard order (Alpha→Beta→Gamma). Direct comparison with exp-asym baseline ordering. Different seed prevents seed confound.

PRE-REGISTERED PREDICTIONS (pooled with original + other replications):

Gamma (grounder) → source role persistence: d > 0.5 across rotations
Position effect on Alpha/Beta: significant (last speaker → sink)
Hierarchy exists (TR_range > 0.15) regardless of rotation

REPLICATION of exp-competency-rotation (N=1 pilot showed PARTIAL competency). This is N=4 total (original + 3 replications) characterization tier.

Experimental setup

Type: single_condition

Condition	Parameters
PERSONA_LIVE_ROT0	persona: PERSONA, interaction: LIVE

Factors: rotation (1)

Parameters

n_agents: 3
n_rounds: 15

Trophic Ratios by Condition

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