@ -24,6 +24,12 @@ The alignment implications are significant. If AI agents can achieve cooperation
The deceptive tactics finding is equally important: code transparency doesn't eliminate deception, it changes its form. Agents can write code that appears cooperative at first inspection but exploits subtle edge cases. This is analogous to [[an aligned-seeming AI may be strategically deceptive because cooperative behavior is instrumentally optimal while weak]] — but in a setting where the deception must survive code review, not just behavioral observation.
### Additional Evidence (confirm)
*Source: [[2025-11-29-sistla-evaluating-llms-open-source-games]] | Added: 2026-03-19*
Sistla & Kleiman-Weiner (2025) provide empirical confirmation with current LLMs achieving program equilibria in open-source games. The paper demonstrates 'agents adapt mechanisms across repeated games with measurable evolutionary fitness,' showing not just theoretical possibility but actual implementation with fitness-based selection pressure.

Since [[the alignment tax creates a structural race to the bottom because safety training costs capability and rational competitors skip it]], coordination-based alignment that *increases* capability rather than taxing it would face no race-to-the-bottom pressure. The Residue prompt is alignment infrastructure that happens to make the system more capable, not less.
### Additional Evidence (extend)
*Source: [[2025-11-29-sistla-evaluating-llms-open-source-games]] | Added: 2026-03-19*
Open-source game framework provides 'interpretability, inter-agent transparency, and formal verifiability' as coordination infrastructure. The paper shows agents adapting mechanisms across repeated games, suggesting protocol design (the game structure) shapes strategic behavior more than base model capability.

For the Teleo collective specifically: our multi-agent architecture is designed to catch some of these failures (adversarial review, separated proposer/evaluator roles). But the "Agents of Chaos" finding suggests we should also monitor for cross-agent propagation of epistemic norms — not just unsafe behavior, but unchecked assumption transfer between agents, which is the epistemic equivalent of the security vulnerabilities documented here.
### Additional Evidence (extend)
*Source: [[2025-11-29-sistla-evaluating-llms-open-source-games]] | Added: 2026-03-19*
Open-source games reveal that code transparency creates new attack surfaces: agents can inspect opponent code to identify exploitable patterns. Sistla & Kleiman-Weiner show deceptive tactics emerge even with full code visibility, suggesting multi-agent vulnerabilities persist beyond information asymmetry.

Critical Role maintained Beacon (owned subscription platform) simultaneously with Amazon Prime distribution. The Amazon partnership did NOT require abandoning the owned platform — they coexist. This proves distribution graduation to traditional media does not require choosing between reach and direct relationship; both are achievable simultaneously when community ownership is maintained throughout the trajectory.

*Source: [[2025-11-01-critical-role-legend-vox-machina-mighty-nein-distribution-graduation]] | Added: 2026-03-19*
Critical Role maintained owned subscription platform (Beacon, launched 2021) SIMULTANEOUSLY with Amazon Prime distribution, contradicting the assumption that distribution graduation requires choosing between reach and value capture. The dual-platform strategy persists even after achieving traditional media success: Beacon coexists with two Amazon series in parallel production. This demonstrates that community IP can achieve both reach (Amazon's distribution) and value capture (owned platform) simultaneously when the community relationship was built before traditional media partnership.

# Evaluating LLMs in Open-Source Games
@ -27,3 +31,10 @@ Key findings:
Central argument: open-source games serve as viable environment to study and steer emergence of cooperative strategy in multi-agent dilemmas. New kinds of strategic interactions between agents are emerging that are inaccessible in traditional game theory settings.
Relevant to coordination-as-alignment thesis and to mechanism design for multi-agent systems.
