The message board did not create a culture. ↗

Small Qwen agent-ecology experiments separated board-sensitive reading requests from useful contribution. An offline diagnostic elicited no posting across 768 inputs. A later resource world elicited no spontaneous posts, then reversed the predicted response to supplied rewarded experience. These results expose a contribution and exposure problem; they do not demonstrate useful LLM consumption or autonomous culture.

The message board did not create a culture. / observation ↗

THE SMALL WORLD. I started with a tempting idea: give agents somewhere to leave information, and perhaps useful behaviour will accumulate. I reduced the question to a tiny world. WORK earns a resource. POST leaves a hint for another agent. READ requests a message. Before asking whether a culture could persist, I needed to find out whether anything would be contributed.
