Key Points

  • The paper introduces EvoSpark, a framework aimed at enabling logically coherent long-horizon narrative evolution in LLM-based multi-agent systems despite stochastic generative emergence.
  • It addresses key failure modes in long simulations—social memory stacking (unresolved conflicting relational states) and narrative-spatial dissonance (spatial logic drifting from the plot).
  • EvoSpark’s Stratified Narrative Memory uses a Role Socio-Evolutionary Base to metabolize experiences and resolve historical conflicts, improving consistency over time.
  • A Generative Mise-en-Scène mechanism enforces alignment among roles, locations, and plot progression to keep characters’ presence consistent with narrative flow.
  • Experiments reported in the paper indicate EvoSpark outperforms baseline approaches across multiple paradigms, producing more expressive and coherent narrative experiences.

Abstract

Realizing endogenous narrative evolution in LLM-based multi-agent systems is hindered by the inherent stochasticity of generative emergence. In particular, long-horizon simulations suffer from social memory stacking, where conflicting relational states accumulate without resolution, and narrative-spatial dissonance, where spatial logic detaches from the evolving plot. To bridge this gap, we propose EvoSpark, a framework specifically designed to sustain logically coherent long-horizon narratives within Endogenous Interactive Agent Societies. To ensure consistency, the Stratified Narrative Memory employs a Role Socio-Evolutionary Base as living cognition, dynamically metabolizing experiences to resolve historical conflicts. Complementarily, Generative Mise-en-Sc\`ene mechanism enforces Role-Location-Plot alignment, synchronizing character presence with the narrative flow. Underpinning these is the Unified Narrative Operation Engine, which integrates an Emergent Character Grounding Protocol to transform stochastic sparking into persistent characters. This engine establishes a substrate that expands a minimal premise into an open-ended, evolving story world. Experiments demonstrate that EvoSpark significantly outperforms baselines across diverse paradigms, enabling the sustained generation of expressive and coherent narrative experiences.
