C.36:5.3 - AI-Agent Framework Culture

A team develops several AI-agent framework variants and notices that evaluation dashboards change which agent patterns the community copies. The cultural-evolution case includes agent-framework method families, work products, benchmark or dashboard publications, recognition and selection regimes, mediating systems, memory epistemes, and refresh. The case keeps those values visible before the project decides whether to change the benchmark, generate new variants, declare a selected-set result, publish it, or revise the method family.

If the team chooses a new benchmark, that is a project choice, not evidence that the wider practice selected it. Record the choice with C.11 and any planned or performed change through the applicable Work and change patterns. Use C.36 separately for later evidence that agent patterns were generated, copied, recognized, selected, retained, or lost across the practice. Widespread persistence does not retroactively authorize the project choice.
