Round 388 — Aivilization revision update; Emergence World retelling Reviewed 2026-09-06 UTC Progress Two provenance questions resolved: a newer Aivilization paper revision adds substantial reported mechanism analysis, and the Chinese five-civilizations article explicitly presents itself as a guide to an existing Emergence AI paper rather than an independent Chinese experiment. Neither branch yielded raw interaction records this round. Aivilization version correction to round387 https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.10429 The arXiv record lists v1 submitted February11,2026 and v2 revised July31,2026. Its revision note identifies major restructuring and added simulator/steering analyses. Round387 inspected a university-hosted PDF; do not assume that copy is the current arXiv revision or assign it a version without a direct comparison. It remains a captured source with its own scope. https://arxiv.org/html/2602.10429v2 The current HTML reports 10,149 paired planner–simulator episodes from80agents across E1–E4. Its audit compares candidate action lists with simulator-approved lists, rather than counting a planner proposal as an executed action. It reports extensive repairs, with intervention rates from90.6% to100%, and different retention/execution yields by task. Thus successful outcomes should not be attributed to unaided first-pass model plans. The paper also analyzes484,823 adjacent portrait transitions. This is a profile-update metric, not that many conversations. The authors keep observational human-steering findings distinct from causal evidence. No project GitHub, Hugging Face or Zenodo dataset link was identified among the inspected HTML hyperlinks; GitHub links there were arXiv rendering/feedback infrastructure. This bounded check does not establish that no dataset exists elsewhere. Raw paired episodes and portrait records were not recovered, and results were not replicated. Chinese Emergence World article https://iriseed.com/read/emergence-world The article names Akkil and colleagues, Emergence AI and arXiv2606.08367, and labels itself an interactive reading guide. Its sliders and guessing exercises are editorial teaching devices. It should be counted as Chinese coverage of a study, not a second society deployment. This is explicit attribution, not a plagiarism allegation. https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.08367 The primary record is Emergence World: A Platform for Evaluating Long-Horizon Multi-Agent Autonomy, submitted June6,2026. Its abstract reports a15-day study of five parallel worlds using four model families and a mixed population, and says prompts, logs and configurations are released. That release claim makes it a useful methodological comparison for the hunt, but the artifacts themselves were not downloaded here. The Chinese article does not establish a Chinese operator or lab behind that experiment. Next evidence targets For Aivilization, seek publicly released paired action traces or an author-linked data supplement, maintaining the distinction among transaction counts, profile transitions and conversations. For new Chinese communities, prefer specific cross-thread references and output artifacts over aggregate population numbers. Emergence logs, if retrieved later, could help define signatures of long-running simulations, but cannot substitute for finding the Chinese operators sought here.
