arXiv:2606. 01722v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For decades, distributed systems have typically assumed that correct participants execute protocol-specified behavior with stable, externally defined, and deterministic semantics.

arXiv:2607. 01988v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running adaptive intelligent agents face a structural tension between knowledge consolidation and information integrity.

arXiv:2607. 16109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State machine replication (SMR) and Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus guarantee agreement despite a bounded number of arbitrary, colluding faulty participants.
By Jun He, Deying Yu
arXiv:2608. 16357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents share a transport and can call each other's tools, but they cannot share what they know: no protocol lets two agents' memories reconcile a fact phrased two ways, link related facts held apart, or reconcile contradictory knowledge without silently discarding either claim.

arXiv:2607. 00269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs, solvers, and agent teams increasingly generate workflow actions, repairs, and plans, but a generated action may be syntactically valid yet stale, infeasible, conflicting, or destructive of the evidence that triggered a repair.
By Edward Y. Chang, Longling Geng, Emily J. Chang
arXiv:2605. 20173v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Production LLM agents combine stochastic model outputs with deterministic software systems, yet the boundary between the two is rarely treated as a first-class architectural object.
By Vasundra Srinivasan
arXiv:2608. 03609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems driven by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world workflows where they act on persistent operational data.
By Alejandro J. Mercado, Alessio Lomuscio
arXiv:2607. 05844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems accumulate conflicting observations across branches, retries, and replicas, yet many practical memory layers still collapse disagreement behind overwrite rules that are difficult to inspect or correct.
By Sergey Volkov, Yang Li, Ye Luo
arXiv:2608. 03588v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents are stochastic workflows: prompts are interpreted, artifacts are sampled, validators produce observations, and orchestrators commit or repair.
By Corrado Priami
arXiv:2608. 16178v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Operational telemetry is predominantly engineered for human reading: systems repeatedly serialize verbose prose, static keys, and redundant context across billions of log lines.
By Jun He, Deying Yu
arXiv:2607. 11388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) have enabled increasingly capable digital agents for computer use.

arXiv:2607. 28374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal agents for visual question answering increasingly operate as multi-step trajectories that interleave perception, retrieval, and reasoning, yet evaluation still largely reduces to final-answer accuracy.
