Your layers put the audience on the outside and articulation on the inside, and the AI case seems to test that ordering.
Nobody's watching, so self-consciousness is out. It isn't a real perspective, so the imagined-crowd layer is thin at best. But the effect still shows up, and it showed up hardest when the answer came back wrong. It answered the question I asked, perfectly, and that is what told me I'd asked the wrong one.
Which makes me think articulation is carrying most of the weight and the audience is mostly volume.
Though it might cut the other way. A fluent answer could re-inflate the illusion instead — you asked, something coherent came back, and the file marked "explanation here" gets refilled rather than emptied.
Does dialectical bootstrapping survive an imagined other that can actually answer you back?
