In plain language

Researchers tested a small group of artificial agents designed to prioritize structure. These agents interacted for a short period, but the experiment was too small to draw any conclusions.

What we found

UNDERPOWERED (N=1): No predictions scored

▶ Technical details

Research hypothesis

Phase A of exp-competition-pilot. Establishes Group A (structure-oriented) hierarchy. N=4 agents interact for 15 rounds.

Experimental setup

Type: single_condition

Condition	Parameters
PHASE_A	interaction: LIVE, persona: PERSONA

Factors: interaction (LIVE) × persona (PERSONA)

Parameters

model: gemini-2.5-flash-lite
n_agents: 4
n_rounds: 15
scheduler: round_robin
temperature: 0.9

Trophic Ratios by Condition

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