QUESTION: In exp-seed-sensitivity, Zeta (generalizer persona) was consistently highest-TR agent at N=6 (mean 0.611, SD 0.093, vs others ~0.47). Meanwhile exp-may-sigma showed Alpha (position 1) dominates at N=7.
Two competing explanations: (A) PERSONA EFFECT: The generalizer persona ("abstract and generalize, extract rules, name patterns, propose frameworks") produces vocabulary that others adopt — inherently top-of-hierarchy regardless of agent name or position. (B) NAME/POSITION EFFECT: Something about being "Zeta" (6th in order, name recognition, or round-robin position) creates the advantage.
TEST: Swap Alpha and Zeta's personas at N=6. Alpha gets generalizer persona, Zeta gets analytical persona. Everything else identical to exp-seed-sensitivity.
Prior evidence:
- exp-seed-sensitivity: Zeta mean TR=0.611 (N=16 runs), others ~0.47
- exp-may-sigma: Alpha (position 1) highest at N=7 low-σ, Zeta lowest
- Position ANOVA at N=6: F=0.98, p=0.443 (not significant for TR_range)
- But per-agent analysis shows Zeta consistently top — this is DIFFERENT from rotation/position driving TR_range variance
