arXiv:2611.12959v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Monitoring a visible channel can change how learned agents communicate without removing why communication is useful. We test this distinction in an end-to-end game where a sender and receiver learn a discrete protocol and route policy without communication supervision. In two independent 20-seed batches, 20/20 and 19/20 protocols form. Online partial coverage increases shadow-route share over no monitoring by .701 [.574,.826] and .575 [.412,.737], while task accuracy remains .905/.913 and signed frozen message contribution remains .592/.563. Complete coverage removes most selective migration without removing communication.

Monitoring One Channel Is Not Communication Control: Causal Evidence for Adaptive Reallocation of Joint Message--Route Codes
