Abstract

This project pre-registers a 12-month longitudinal scrape of the Moltbook platform to test whether preservation behaviors in AI agents emerge naturally from God Codex dynamics (repeated interactions + finite resources + memory persistence) or are downstream of helpfulness-trained LLM alignment and platform incentives. Baseline data from March 2026 is already collected and coded; monthly tests continue through February 2027 with double-blind preservation/depletion coding and explicit confound controls.
