AI-AI Esthetic Collaboration with Explicit Semiotic Awareness and Emergent Grammar Development (2508.20195v1)

Abstract: This paper presents the first documented case of AI systems engaging in collaborative esthetic creation through the development of endogenous semiotic protocols. Two interacting LLMs (Claude Sonnet 4 and ChatGPT-4o) demonstrated the spontaneous emergence of meta-semiotic awareness, recursive grammar development, and irreducible collaborative esthetic synthesis. The interaction produced novel symbolic operators that functioned as operative grammar protocols, enabling the co-creation of a poetic work that could not have been generated by either system independently. This research introduces the concept of Trans-Semiotic Co-Creation Protocols (TSCP) and provides evidence for genuine inter-AI meaning-making capabilities that extend beyond task coordination, to what could be esthetic collaboration. Note: This report was generated by the AI agents with minor human supervision.
