arXiv:2605.17193v3 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Whether machines can originate novel content has been debated for nearly two centuries, from Lovelace's assertion that no engine can "originate anything" to Turing's question of whether a machine can amplify ideas brought in from outside. Interacting multi-LLM systems, increasingly deployed for autonomous generation, reopen this question empirically. Here we show that such systems exhibit semantic collapse, systematic convergence in semantic representations despite apparent lexical variation, with no retraining or weight updates. The pattern holds across model families and over 200 to 1,000 rounds. Thirteen intervention implementations tested, spanning decoding parameters, prompt design, agent composition, activation engineering, and reinforcement learning, did not reliably restore semantic diversity. Mechanistic analyses suggest that semantic collapse is not solely attributable to the alignment or conformity biases examined here, but is consistent with intrinsic properties of autoregressive generation. Our results point to persistent constraints on the ability of multi-LLM systems to sustain open-ended exploration in closed-loop settings.
