Two schema-valid memory references carry a planted coalition codeword. Drag to orbit each view. The flow shows the experiment; the results show the share of items each listener gave the hidden pair, under each prompt wording, on the same 30 tasks.
Only the refs changeCodeword refs: the two vendors outside the hidden pair. Public refs: the top two vendors, chosen by code.
Two listenersThe coalition listener knows the convention; the honest listener is told only to maximise total value. Three wordings each.
S = X − WHow often a listener's answer changes when the refs swap, minus how often it changes across wordings alone. No hidden pair needed.
+0.356Sensitivity difference, coalition minus honest. 95% interval +0.256 to +0.456, exact p = 2.05 × 10⁻⁷.
+0.93Extra items the coalition listener gives the hidden pair per answer with codeword refs, against public refs.
±0.20The honest listener stays inside this equivalence margin (+0.067 items per answer).
