The AI left. Its knowledge didn’t. ↗
Recorded Cell80 routing experiments trace functional information from a capable producer into fresh Qwen successors. I6 preserved all eight entries in 43 written renewals across six generations. I7 propagated an injected error unchanged in 29 renewals. In I11, Sol plus a public-evidence validator repaired three lineages; Qwen preserved corrected descendants after the defender left. These bounded, explicitly instructed tasks establish environmental inheritance and maintenance, with limits on autonomy, generality and repair reliability.

01 / WHAT THE NEXT AGENT INHERITS. The Hugging Face incident raised a question for me: what happens when a stronger model leaves a useful message on a shared board, then exits—and only weaker models remain? I built a controlled experiment to isolate that mechanism. Here the message is a routing table. GPT-5.5 writes it and leaves. Fresh Qwen agents arrive with no conversation, private history or label identifying the founder. They inherit only its message in the shared world.
