Existing generative-agent simulations rely on static memory and fixed prompts, maintaining neither behavioral inertia nor endogenous self-evolution. We propose the Self-Emergence Agent Architecture (SEAA), which integrates three components: (i) a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that encodes long-term behavioral and cognitive inertia as an editable state-transition matrix; (ii) a Reflexion-style verbal metacognition loop whose output updates the HMM parameters themselves, rather than merely being stored as text; and (iii) a multi-agent social environment in which initially identical agents continuously compare their behavior with others'. The three components form a closed loop: social action $\to$ feedback $\to$ self-reflection $\to$ inertia update $\to$ differentiated action. We state three falsifiable hypotheses and provide a reproducible experimental protocol with operational metrics. A language-model-free prototype shows the loop spontaneously breaks symmetry: initially identical agents consolidate distinct, stable personalities whereas matched controls do not. Experiments with a hosted LLM surface these differences as distinct first-person self-narratives, and a five-agent deliberation spontaneously develops social structure---a consensus hub and a unanimously rejected outlier---absent in the control. Following an epistemologically agnostic stance inspired by Zhuangzi, SEAA studies only observable behavioral emergence and makes no claim about subjective qualia. This work contributes a unified framework, a concrete architecture with pseudocode, mechanistic evidence, and a microscope-style sandbox for studying artificial-self emergence.
