    Same physical state, different collective dynamics: state encodings select synchronization outcomes in language-model agents

    Language-model agents act on state encodings of their environment, yet these are treated as interchangeable interfaces. Using pretrained language models, we designed a circular-synchronization experiment applying a state-encoding intervention while holding the physical system fixed: each agent sees only a summary of its neighbours' relative phases and chooses to advance, stay or retard. Encoding that state as low-order circular moments rather...
