Story Knowledge
logical representations of SMM negotiation If agent x is confident enough about his character And if agent y is not confident about agent x character Then agent x perform an action that is highly representative of agent x character
Evaluation - SMM was ablated for two improv agents leading to total consensus found approximately once in over 1500 lines. - SMM was then enabled for the improv agents. The agents reached cognitive convergence 4.5 times more often.
