BDI cognitive architecture alone produces zero behavioral change in multi-agent simulation-controlled ablation results

Authors/Creators

Description

WORLD-ENGINE

A civilizational simulation exploring what happens when you give AI agents cognition, values and collective intelligence- separatly and together

What This Is

A controlled experiment comparing four configurations:

  • Baseline (template behaviour)
  • BDI Only (cognitive artitecture)
  • BDI + Value (cognition + value system)
  • Full AGI (cognition + values + collective intelligence)

Key Finding

Pure cognitive architecture (BDI) alone produced 0 behavioural change across all matrics. Value were the activation mechanism that made cognition meaningful.
