arXiv:2602. 10429v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AIvilization v0 is a publicly deployed large-scale artificial society that couples a resource-constrained sandbox with a unified LLM-agent architecture, aiming to sustain long-horizon autonomy while remaining executable under a rapidly changing environment.
The paper introduces the Self‑Emergence Agent Architecture (SEAA), a framework that combines a Hidden Markov Model for behavioral inertia, a reflexive metacognition loop that updates the HMM, and a social environment where agents compare behaviors. This closed loop enables agents to develop distinct, stable personalities and social structures without external prompts. Experiments with both a language‑model‑free prototype and hosted LLMs demonstrate spontaneous symmetry breaking and the emergence of consensus hubs and outliers.
arXiv:2406. 14373v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer an opportunity for computational social science research at scale.
arXiv:2606. 08367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most evaluations of LLM agents look like exams: a discrete task, a clean environment, a score in minutes or hours.
The paper introduces Synthetic Linguistic Agency (SLA), a framework that defines linguistic agency in terms of embodiment, participation, and precariousness. It presents two studies: one that operationalizes SLA criteria and identifies existing systems, and another that builds an Embodied Mortal Agent (EMA) using mortality‑grounded reinforcement learning. Experiments show the EMA’s linguistic choices depend on its body and social history, influence partner behavior, and adapt over time, demonstrating SLA in an artificial agent.
