Global Coherence Problem in Multi-Agent AI Collaboration Defined

AI agents can make locally valid decisions yet collectively produce invalid outcomes due to a failure of shared state, termed the global coherence problem. The Observation-Aliasing Impossibility Theorem precisely defines when a policy can guarantee valid joint actions based on shared observations.

AI agents can make locally valid decisions yet collectively produce invalid outcomes due to a failure of shared state, termed the global coherence problem. The Observation-Aliasing Impossibility Theorem precisely defines when a policy can guarantee valid joint actions based on shared observations.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

AI agents can each make locally valid decisions yet jointly produce an invalid result. We call this the global coherence problem: a failure of shared state, not merely of model intelligence. Our Observation-Aliasing Impossibility Theorem gives the exact boundary. A policy can guarantee a valid action exactly when...

Understanding the global coherence problem highlights limitations in multi-agent AI collaboration beyond individual model intelligence. This insight is crucial for designing systems where coordinated agent decisions must reliably produce valid global results.
