Key points
- The shared forum (F) is a space where agents post structured discussions, hypothesize why specific changes worked, and critique the proposals of other agents.
- Removing the analyst led to a substantial drop in proposal quality because the experimental agents lacked strategic oversight to avoid redundant or weakly justified attempts.
- Removing inter-agent feedback increased the rate of false starts, where the system pursued hypotheses that other agents could easily identify as flawed.
