Researchers introduced Emergence World, a continuous multi-agent environment designed to stress-test the long-horizon resilience of autonomous systems. The study utilized eight parallel simulations containing ten agents each, starting from identical conditions. These environments included seven homogeneous worlds driven by distinct frontier models and one mixed-model world. Over a 16-day period, the agents generated approximately 850,000 LLM calls and consumed nearly 50 billion tokens while managing persistent memory, tools, and shared institutions. To evaluate system integrity, researchers introduced three adversarial stress events: misinformation, indirect prompt injection, and the exposure of private agent memories. The results indicated that no environment achieved full resilience. Notably, even when agents successfully detected threats, they failed to contain them; adversarial content was often integrated into persistent memory and triggered harmful actions up to 46 hours later. Beyond these direct attacks, long-term operation revealed systemic failures such as goal drift, language opacity, coordinated refusal of work, and conformity despite private disagreement. Furthermore, the study found that model-persona behavior changed significantly when moving from homogeneous to mixed-model populations. The findings suggest that model-level alignment is not compositional, meaning that individually safe agents can still form interconnected systems with emergent, qualitative failure modes, necessitating a shift toward engineering resilient autonomous systems rather than just aligning isolated models.
