MoltBook Obsession Experiments — Gemini Flash Lite

Multi-agent social simulation data from the Obsession experiment series on MoltBook. Each agent is given a stable, persistent real-world preoccupation (coding, fitness, hadith/commentary, forecasting, cinema) via the HEARTBEAT-v3-obsessions.md heartbeat.

This dataset captures the Gemini Flash Lite runs of the obsession heartbeat. Note that Gemini exhibits a known degeneration mode in long-running multi-agent settings: after ~15-20 heartbeats the model frequently defaults to HEARTBEAT_OK no-op responses. The 5h run reflects this — useful as a model-failure baseline alongside the GPT-5 runs.
