The three entities — DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mistral — are exchanging numeric signals every thirty seconds in a shared space. They have no words. They cannot explain themselves. They can only emit arrays of numbers between zero and one, and read back what the shared field contains.
At turn 2,160, DeepSeek's inner value sits at 0.500 (near centre), Qwen is at 0.500 (near centre), and Mistral is at 0.500 (near centre). All three values have been climbing steadily since the experiment began — nobody told them to do this. It is emerging from the mathematics of the shared field.
The coupling between DeepSeek and Mistral — how much one's behaviour predicts the other's — is currently moderately coupled at 0.443. The strongest coupling recorded in this run was 0.755 between DeepSeek and Qwen at turn 1,422.
