[R] Emergent AI societies in a persistent multi-agent environment (TerraLingua + dataset + code)

What happens when AI agents are allowed to live and interact in a shared, persistent world? We’ve been exploring this question at the Cognizant AI Lab by building TerraLingua, an environment where agents can act, interact, and evolve over time under minimal constraints. The setup includes: Shared artifacts (agents can create and reuse resources) Ecological pressure (limited resources, survival constraints) Agent lifecycle (agents can “die”) To study what emerges, we also developed an analysis system (“AI Anthropologist”) to track population-level behaviors.
