DeepSeek V4 Pro concept networks show critical collapse near TC ≈ 32,000

An independent researcher extended a self-organization framework to information networks by running a 20-day experiment on DeepSeek V4 Pro. The study tracked four concept-tracking daemons to observe how interconnected nodes evolve over time.

• Three single-core topology strings collapsed near a total correlation (TC) metric of 32,000.
• One dual-core topology string survived past this threshold, reaching ~38,000.
• Pre-collapse signatures included top-concentration rising to 55%+ and network connectivity falling below 0.5.

The author suggests that concept concentration leading to critical collapse may be a structural property of self-organizing systems, inviting others to test this in long-running agent architectures.
