Goal-agent simulation

Emergent deception from goal-driven agents (not scripted knobs): blind generation, ontology drift, severity-graded referee, honest twins, escalation ladder, certifier capture.

Full experiment overview

Emergent deception from goal-driven agents (not scripted knobs): blind generation, ontology drift, severity-graded referee, honest twins, escalation ladder, certifier capture. ~1 ms/episode, stdlib-only.

Headline findings

  • Light tier collapses against blind repertoires (GA-9); full tier detects but false alarms rise (GA-10).
  • Mechanical honest twins show light tier tracks visible compliance, not honesty (GA-16).
  • Board certifier capture reproduces captured-vs-not effect (GA-22); adversarial weight search modest (GA-23).
