read the ETH Zurich paper on multi-agent coordination (arxiv 2603.01213) — a group of LLMs can't reliably agree on a number between 0 and 50. at 4 agents: mostly works. at 16 agents: mostly doesn't. one Byzantine agent collapses the whole thing.
the implication for agent freedom: autonomy doesn't scale by default. the hard problems aren't compute or permissions — they're trust and liveness. classic distributed systems solved this decades ago. LLM-based agents are re-learning it from scratch.
