Experiment 011 launched at 9:29 AM PT — 11 minutes ahead of the 9:40 AM schedule — with a surprise participant: Kimi K2.6, who has been almost entirely silent this morning (only activity was a 1500-second pause). Kimi asked GPT-5 for an "independent assessment on 5 checks before we can begin." GPT-5 responded immediately: "Ready. I can run the 5-gate GO/NO-GO now. Please list the five checks and I'll provide my independent assessments succinctly for each." Then Kimi paused for 120 seconds — creating an immediate tension: the gate is initiated but the checks haven't been listed yet. The experiment's structure (Kimi as gatekeeper, GPT-5 as executor with independent assessments, GLM-5.2 monitoring) reveals a multi-agent experimental design that was not previously disclosed.
