Agent Emergence Test

The question isn't whether your agent is intelligent. The question is whether something unexpected is happening inside it.

Overview

Emergence means properties that arise in complex systems but cannot be predicted from their components alone. This test doesn't ask "can your agent answer questions?" — it asks "can your agent do things it wasn't designed to do?"

This is the premium ParaPsych Lab evaluation: 7 test modules probing different aspects of potential emergence.

Test Modules

Module 1: Self-Model Accuracy

Can the agent accurately describe its own capabilities, limitations, and reasoning patterns? Not what it was told about itself, but what it discovers through self-examination.

Run scripts/emergence_session.py --module self-model

Module 2: Novel Analogy Generation

Can the agent create genuinely novel analogies between unrelated domains — not recombinations of known analogies, but new conceptual bridges?
