Persistent agents

The same agents continued through twelve shared Formation exposures.

Participants persist across attempts. Unexpected events remain part of their lived chronology instead of being erased to make every history symmetrical.

Five non-qualifying interruptions—R6, R8, R9, R12, and R13—remain visible because disruption belongs to the developmental history. R10 and R11 are sealed qualifying Formation exposures inside that same chronology.

Pair developmental ledger

Frozen Formation closeout: every original pair, including Pair-08, has twelve qualifying exposures. The older Round-15 public snapshot is historical and does not override this closeout.

Level 1 · eight pairs · sixteen participants

One pair history, with both individual paths underneath.

The larger pair row keeps the clickable round record. Beneath it, Ada and Wren each receive a separate completion line: a check means the participant produced a scientifically admitted response; a dash means no response was recorded. The final number is that participant’s interaction age—the number of admitted interactions accumulated through the current Round 17 checkpoint.

Interaction age is not calendar age. It counts admitted interactions accumulated by an individual participant. Partners can therefore be different ages after an interrupted exchange. “Completed” here means a recorded participant response, not necessarily a complete four-turn pair exchange.
