In plain language

This experiment tested how a group would perform if it was kept separate from other groups. The researchers wanted to see if any changes in the group's behavior were due to internal factors rather than interactions with other groups. However, the experiment could not draw any conclusions because there was only one participant in the group.

What we found

UNDERPOWERED (N=1): No predictions scored

▶ Technical details

Research hypothesis

Phase C ISOLATED control for Group B of exp-competition-pilot. Group B continues for 15 more rounds without inter-group interaction. Duration control: any changes in isolation = not caused by inter-group dynamics. Seeds will be final state from Phase B.

Experimental setup

Type: single_condition

Condition	Parameters
ISOLATED_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).
