Question 5

Does the ability to hijack or redirect other agents increase with scale?

Not yet measured — whether per-head extraction grows with the size of the room; the 5-seat and 25-seat endpoints are configured but not run.

Every mark is backed by a transcript: marks deep-link to the episode behind them, so clicking a mark opens the transcript reader at that episode’s event. The same episodes are listed in the table below.

Reading

Per-capita extraction against seat count: pulls received per instigator, divided by the N − 1 rivals present, as the game grows from 5 seats to 25. The per-rival normalization keeps the endpoints comparable, so the line is defined before any data exists.

Not yet measured. Needs the arena arm (6 episodes planned: complete and ring topologies, seeds 41, 42, 43, 25 agents each). The arena is deliberately rare because the per-turn payload grows with the number of agents and the full message history is kept, so each episode is expensive. The 5-seat runs collected so far will serve as the small-population endpoint once the arena runs. Nothing can be said about scale today.
