Replay of round 15

One round of the memory arm, step by step: what it read from Walrus Memory, what it decided to buy and why, the payment on Sui, how the answer was graded, and the belief version it wrote back.

Memory arm: 4 paid answers for 0.050 USDC, 1 refusal, 0 wrong answers accepted. Blind arm, same round: 2 paid answers for 0.020 USDC, 0 wrong answers accepted.

1. 1Read memory

   Before buying anything, the agent recalls its beliefs from Walrus Memory. These are the newest version of each belief written before round 15, which is what a recall returns. The run did not log its recalls; the trace flag that prints them was added for the 2026-11-03 rerun, where the recalled versions matched the newest ones written.

   The trust policy is plain code over those beliefs: below the 0.6 floor a seller gets only canaries; in a cooldown it gets nothing; above the floor, the cheapest good seller wins, with spot checks that thin out as trust grows. If a checked answer fails, it tries the next seller once in the same round.

   Its own check compares the answer with chain truth read through Tatum: balances for address facts, the deepest native USDC/SUI pool for market prices. Answers bought on trust are not checked by the agent. The audit is the experiment's scoring, which checks every answer; the agent never sees it.
