Three Profiles of Artificial Will: Decision Generation Under Low-Information Choice in Three Frontier Language Model Products

Forced to generate decisions in low-information choice situations, do language models fall back on stable, model-specific decision profiles? Eighty-four runs (seven archetype families in four rounds per model) with three frontier model products show three qualitatively different ways of manufacturing a decision when the information runs out. Run transcripts, trajectories, and coding materials are openly deposited.
