Definition

When AI models talking to each other keep using new words but stop generating genuinely new ideas.

A reproducible phenomenon in closed-loop multi-LLM systems where lexical diversity grows while semantic diversity contracts toward a model-specific attractor, robust to temperature, prompt, persona, scale, and RL interventions.
