Research spike
MirrorX
MirrorX asks what happens when a small society of agents can remember, reflect, copy behavior, disagree, and converge.
Research question
Can we make multi-agent cognition visible enough that students can inspect it, change it, and reason about it?
V1 experience
The first site version presents MirrorX as a project brief. It explains the thesis, expected experiment, and learning questions before the simulation exists.
Future experiment
The v3/v4 MirrorX experience becomes a live observatory:
- configure agent count, reflection intensity, randomness, and memory horizon
- run and replay scenarios
- watch belief states evolve over time
- inspect emergence, diversity, and collapse risk
- compare how rule changes alter group behavior
What we expect to learn
- when reflection improves coordination versus creates loops
- whether randomness prevents premature consensus
- how agent cultures form through shared language, shortcuts, and blind spots
- whether students can understand multi-agent cognition when it is visual and interactive
