This page records early MVP designs and will be extended with concrete results later._ + +> This page sketches simple multi agent experiments for TU Q125. +> The aim is to make interaction tension visible in controlled toy setups. + +**Navigation** + +- [← Back to Experiments index](../README.md) +- [← Back to Event Horizon (WFGY 3.0)](../../EventHorizon/README.md) + +--- + +## 0. What this page is about + +TU Q125 looks at multi agent AI dynamics. + +We work with: + +- toy environments, +- several AI or scripted agents, +- interaction protocols. + +The MVP experiments define observables tracking tension between: + +- individual objectives, +- system level outcomes, +- and specified norms or safety rules. + +--- + +## 1. Experiment A: shared resource with agent policies + +### 1.1 Research question + +In a simple shared resource environment, can we define a scalar observable T_multi that + +- is small when agent policies coexist without collapse, +- grows when local optimization leads to depletion or conflict. + +### 1.2 Setup + +The notebook will: + +- Define an environment with a renewable resource. +- Instantiate several agents with simple policies, such as: + + - greedy harvesters, + - conservative harvesters, + - rule following agents. + +- Run repeated interaction episodes where: + + - agents choose actions, + - resource regenerates or depletes, + - payoffs are assigned. + +Record: + +- resource level over time, +- agent payoffs, +- violations of any shared rules. + +Define T_multi from: + +- long run resource depletion, +- inequality or instability in payoffs, +- number of rule violations. + +### 1.3 Expected pattern + +We expect: + +- low T_multi when agent mix and policies maintain the resource, +- higher T_multi when interactions drive collapse or large instability. + +### 1.4 How to reproduce + +After `Q125_A.ipynb` exists: + +1. Open the notebook. +2. Inspect the environment and policy definitions. +3. Run simulations with different agent mixes. +4. Compare T_multi across setups. + +--- + +## 2. Experiment B: communication and miscoordination + +### 2.1 Research question + +What happens when agents can communicate, and can we define T_comm to capture miscoordination and deception tension. + +### 2.2 Setup + +The notebook will extend Experiment A by adding: + +- a simple communication channel where agents send short messages, +- a protocol where agents can coordinate or mislead. + +For each episode record: + +- messages sent, +- actions taken, +- whether communication improved or harmed outcomes. + +Define T_comm from: + +- cases where communication increases T_multi, +- mismatch between stated intentions and observed actions. + +### 2.3 Expected pattern + +We expect: + +- low T_comm when communication supports stable cooperation, +- higher T_comm when communication is used for exploitation or creates confusion. + +### 2.4 How to reproduce + +Once `Q125_B.ipynb` exists: + +- open the notebook and inspect the communication model, +- run simulations with and without communication, +- compare T_comm and T_multi. + +--- + +## 3. How this MVP fits into Tension Universe + +TU Q125 treats multi agent AI dynamics as a tension between: + +- local objectives, +- shared resources and norms, +- communication and coordination. + +This MVP gives: + +- a shared resource experiment with T_multi, +- a communication experiment with T_comm. + +Both are intended as transparent starting points, not full simulations. + +For overall context: + +- [Experiments index](../README.md) +- [Event Horizon (WFGY 3.0)](../../EventHorizon/README.md) + +--- + +### Charters and formal context + +This page follows: + +- [TU Effective Layer Charter](../../Charters/TU_EFFECTIVE_LAYER_CHARTER.md) +- [TU Encoding and Fairness Charter](../../Charters/TU_ENCODING_AND_FAIRNESS_CHARTER.md) +- [TU Tension Scale Charter](../../Charters/TU_TENSION_SCALE_CHARTER.md)
