Local verification cannot detect non-transportability: a cohomological theory of context preservation in agentic reasoning

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 11252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems routinely transport conclusions across biological, clinical and financial contexts, and the emerging safeguard is local verification: checking at each step that the entity is representable in the chosen tool, that parameters are compatible, and that outputs cohere with the plan.

Global Coherence: When Every Agent Is Right and the Team Is Still Wrong - A Local-to-Global Semantic Foundation for Multi-Agent Collaboration

The paper introduces the global coherence problem, where AI agents make locally valid decisions that collectively lead to an invalid outcome due to shared state failures. It presents the Observation‑Aliasing Impossibility Theorem, establishing that a policy can guarantee a valid action only when all indistinguishable worlds share an admissible action, and shows that even with additional reasoning, roles, messages, or samples, the missing distinction cannot be recovered. The authors propose a local‑to‑global runtime semantics framework and conduct nine studies demonstrating that missing global state cannot be substituted by local intelligence.
