When Is Emergent Consensus Real? A Measured Coupling Gain and a Validity Diagnostic for LLM Agent Societies
Researchers introduce a measurement framework called 'coupling gain' to quantify whether consensus or polarization in LLM agent societies reflects genuine social dynamics or model artifacts. The study reveals that frontier LLMs do not spontaneously polarize, and that emergent consensus claims must be validated against initial conditions and context-specific coupling metrics rather than assumed theoretical models.
