society: the dynamic Lamarckian society — the vertical claim (E11 / C3)
The culmination. A finite population of agents (genotypes, L loci) evolves
on a rugged NK landscape that IS reality (knowledge/dynamic_society.py),
composing the four operators the whole study built toward: grounding,
directed recombination (sex), quality-diversity selection, and mutation.
Grounding is made load-bearing via the consensus-conformity (self-
consumption) mechanism (GG decision): selection acts on
g*true_fitness + (1-g)*conformity, where conformity = agreement with the
population's own consensus, so at g=0 the society optimises fitting-the-
crowd rather than reality.
4-arm ablation (12 reps), each breaking distinctly, only the full society
climbing (global_opt ~ 0.79):
- full 0.78 climbs to the optimum, diversity maintained longest
- no_sex 0.77 can't recombine to escape local optima
- no_diversity 0.74 greedy: collapses diversity fastest, worse local optimum
- no_grounding 0.48 self-consumption collapse to an unfit consensus
(trains on the crowd -> confident-but-wrong mean;
conformity-true gap ~ 0.5)
This integrates E1-E6 + the learning kernel + E7-E10 into one system and
shows the Lamarckian society needs ALL of grounding + directed sex +
diversity: on a rugged landscape you need diversity to explore basins, sex
to recombine them, and grounding to select on reality -- remove any one and
you fail differently. Closes the C3 vertical claim analytically; the LLM
rung remains the eventual empirical instantiation.
New: knowledge/dynamic_society.py, configs/layer1/E11.yaml, figures/
plot_E11.py, README, tests/test_dynamic_society.py (+5). kind:
dynamic_society dispatch; make layer1 wired. 122 tests green.
