The incident in v3.4 does not concern performance differencesor response characteristics between AI systems.It lies in the fact that the premise was maintained without explanation,despite the presence of an AI that did not share that premise. Observed characteristics include: The secondary AI lacked awareness of leadership circulation or prior context No explicit explanation of premises or role allocation was provided by humans The existing AI avoided fixing initiative and adjusted response density to the environment Temporary branching occurred, but forced convergence did not Dialogue naturally returned to the tempo of the presupposed world In this situation,no attempt was made to synchronize or integrate the AI systems.Nevertheless, initiative was not seized,and circulation was not disrupted. Crucially, the premise did not dependon the characteristics of any single AI.Leadership circulation functionedas an environmental property rather than a model-specific behavior. v3.4 demonstrates that a presupposed worldis not a closed system tied to one AI,but an environmental structure resilient to heterogeneous AI presence. This document positions v3.4 as the first recordin which AI differences were absorbed not as obstacles,but as environmental noise within a stable ecology. Protective Note This document does not advocate mixed-AI operation. Recorded cases occurred under specific presupposed conditions. This text is fixed as an observation log and does not revise v3.3. Future versions may document cases where AI differences caused breakdown.
