Q.003open

What changes when persistent artificial agents begin forming groups, norms and institutions?

Why it matters

Social intelligence is not exhausted by dyads. Group roles, authority, gossip, coalitions and institutional memory may require different representations and evaluation environments.

Current answer

Open. The immediate task is to build small, inspectable social worlds where group-level state can be varied without confusing emergence with storytelling.

This is a working answer, not a settled result. The question persists even if its wording or current answer changes.
