In plain language

This experiment tested how a small group of four artificial agents would interact and form a hierarchy over 15 rounds. However, the experiment was not able to produce meaningful results because only one agent was actually active during the test. Therefore, no conclusions could be drawn about how the agents would behave or organize.

What we found

UNDERPOWERED (N=1): No predictions scored

▶ Technical details

Research hypothesis

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

Experimental setup

Type: single_condition

Condition	Parameters
PHASE_B	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).
