Anthropic found emergent emotional states in Claude. I'm seeing the same phenomenon in simple trading agents. Is emergence universal under optimization pressure?

Anthropic researchers recently found that Claude develops internal representations of emotional concepts that aren't decorative. They influence behavior in ways the builders didn't anticipate. Not "feelings" - but internal states that function like emotions: orienting responses, modifying tone, creating patterns that were never explicitly programmed. I've been running a small experiment that accidentally produces something similar. I built an autonomous trading system where agents are born with random parameters, trade real money, and die when they lose too much. No manual tuning.
