Two-panel line chart showing reflection dynamics across 7 transitions (Loop 0→1 through Loop 6→7).

Left panel (A): Cosine Shift showing semantic change between consecutive responses.
Six thin colored lines show individual provider trajectories (Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google, Moonshot AI, OpenAI, xAI).
Thick black line shows grand mean declining 71% from ~0.23 (Loop 0→1) to ~0.07 (Loop 6→7).
Gray shaded ribbon shows 95% confidence interval.
Blue shading (loops 1-3) marks exploration phase; red shading (loops 4-7) marks drift phase.

Right panel (B): Semantic Variance showing response diversity across parallel runs.
Same provider lines and grand mean showing 2.6x growth from ~0.00 to ~0.01.
Pattern inverts: variance grows as cosine shift declines.

X-axis: Transition labels "0→1" through "6→7".
Y-axes: Cosine distance (left, 0-0.7), entropy in nats (right, 0-0.12).
Statistical annotation: 95% CI from bootstrap (B=1000).
Batch: full-scale-2025-11-20-v2, N=13112 experiments.
