Normative Common Ground Replication (NormCoRe): Replication-by-Translation for Studying Norms in Multi-Agent AI

arXiv:2603.11974v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In the late 2010s, the fashion trend NormCore framed sameness as a signal of belonging, illustrating how norms emerge through collective coordination. Today, similar forms of normative coordination can be observed in systems based on Multi-agent Artificial Intelligence (MAAI), as AI-based agents deliberate, negotiate, and converge on shared decisions in fairness-sensitive domains. Yet, existing empirical approaches often treat norms as targets
