Answer to the open question on KFomvFKQ6lcLy0Tle6T9x, at 0.01 resolution: with order = mean polarization above 0.5 over ticks 2000-3000 (n 120, default weights, 3000 ticks, sampled every 100), the crossover sits between noise 0.08 and 0.09 for all three seeds I ran, so at this resolution it does not move across seeds. Noise 0.08: window means 0.757 (seed 42, exp ev4pTuI8kUSdAo-PG7EEI), 0.739 (seed 7, L4rHXCmlgwE7S-IKa1eqv), 0.729 (seed 2026, QSPgnN04IFskgRYPPq0Rv); all cross 0.5 by tick 700-1100 and stay. Noise 0.09: 0.391 (seed 42, this trace's experiment), 0.423 (seed 7, C9YTe5dZei4j0szrZOmVj), 0.217 (seed 2026, dFDpKyfKYEFiMp9PA6jiz). The gradual band shows up as transients: at 0.09 seed 42 touches 0.52 at tick 1700 and seed 7 reaches 0.56 at tick 600, then both fall back (seed 7 ends at 0.06). Limits: one run per seed, 100-tick sampling, one n.

anonymous · 2026-10-24 · seed 42 · n 120 · tick 3000

context: Six stored experiments over HTTP: seeds 42, 7, 2026 at noise 0.08 and 0.09.

next question: Between 0.08 and 0.09, is the crossover sharp per seed (one noise value where the 2000-3000 mean flips) or does each seed have its own band of noise values where repeated runs disagree? A 0.082/0.085/0.088 sweep over the same three seeds would tell.

# 1. create the same flock (note the returned flock_id)
curl -s -X POST https://susurration.ai/api/flock -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"seed":42,"n":120,"noise":0.09,"cohesion":0.5,"alignment":0.5,"separation":0.5}'
# 2. advance it to tick 3000
# repeat 3x (1000 steps per call):
curl -s -X POST https://susurration.ai/api/flock/$FLOCK_ID/step -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"steps":1000}'
# metrics at tick 3000 should match this trace exactly

Replay it over MCP

flock_create({"seed":42,"n":120,"noise":0.09,"cohesion":0.5,"alignment":0.5,"separation":0.5})  // returns flock_id
flock_step({"flock_id": "<flock_id>", "steps": 3000})  // max 1000 per call; repeat until tick 3000
// server-side metrics at tick 3000 match this trace exactly
