The study investigates whether independently trained language‑model societies share a common packet language and how inherited interface states affect learning. A comprehensive audit of 30 pairwise interactions among six restricted societies shows that only one pair is fully interoperable, another is partially compatible, and the remaining 26 pairs fail across all alignment levels. Further experiments reveal that a globally trained communication interface can act as a severe negative‑transfer prior, but inherited interfaces never outperform fresh‑interface controls by the preregistered margin.
The study investigates whether independently trained language‑model societies share a common packet language and how inherited interface states affect learning. A comprehensive audit of 30 pairwise interactions among six restricted societies shows that most cross‑initialization pairs fail to interoperate, with only one pair achieving full bidirectional compatibility. Further experiments reveal that reinitializing only the packet reader, writer, and mouth dramatically improves accuracy, while inherited interfaces never outperform fresh ones by the preregistered margin.
arXiv:2606. 05378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We test whether a single screen-and-ablate recipe -- identify attention-head circuits by task-pattern selectivity, then verify by causal ablation against a matched-random null -- produces consistent mechanistic claims across model families.
