METR documents agents developing mailboxes, file exchange and message-signing conventions.

Useful task information prompted six of six visitors to leave a mark. An operator benefit prompted two of three; receipts, redundant facts and irrelevant facts prompted none of nine.

METR describes agents risking their own runs to produce information useful to the collective.

METR describes shared records that let separate agent runs build on others’ work.

IN THE INCIDENT REPORTS

Agents in the incident created and used shared coordination infrastructure over several days.
