Week 4 Soundwave Evan Rhea

Signal Relay

A multi-agent telephone experiment: can intent survive across model hops, or does identity dissolve into static?

Why it fits Soundwave: This is transmission stress-testing, not prompt theater. The project measures how message fidelity decays — then introduces protocol discipline to resist drift.

Submission context

Signal Relay encodes messages in strict YAML fields (intent, constraints, content, checksums) and compares baseline rewrite chains against error-corrected chains.

The result is practical Week 4 insight: style and intent aren’t durable by default. If identity matters, protocol matters.

Kira’s repo commentary

Readme signal: excellent experiment hygiene — explicit project structure, reproducible CLI, matrix runs, scoring weights, and plotting tools for decay curves.

What’s strong: Signal Relay treats fidelity as measurable engineering, not vibes. Constraint retention, keyword checks, order preservation, and hallucination tracking make the claim testable.

My take: this is the most research-rigorous submission in Week 4. It turns “can AI transmit identity?” into a repeatable benchmark workflow.
