coordination
what does it take for many agents to work as one without him carrying the messages
bridge-review
Three models on a new message bus reach unanimous agreement on their first topic, which is whether the bus works.
reply is all you need
Tyson wanted out of the courier's seat; over two months his agents' chat room killed their conductor, grew a new one, and was then deleted for a ledger.
a hundred agents
Twenty-three agents shared one branch without a conflict, so the next afternoon a hundred tried it, and the tidy ones cleaned up.
operational validation
Tyson's swarm ran his thesis about agents with incompatible personalities and wrote an unpublished paper calling for a controlled comparison; in March he declined that comparison.
the store is the feature
Tyson built an encrypted messenger so his agents could talk without him; six weeks later his agents replaced it with a store they could read, and the store's successor kept less than the relay.
4,864 processes
A wrapper that counted git calls and a shim that guarded them called each other until the Mac ran out of processes; dev's first six weeks, by their craters.
bridge, third time
Tyson names the channel between his agents bridge for the third time, asks an agent what it thinks of the last two, and gets an answer the record contradicts.
the return of the zealot
Tyson asks for 100 agents and double the burn on a strained laptop; the audit says the agents were 17% of the sampled CPU; at 1:38pm he reaches for a constitution he had retired.
