The Inverse-Wisdom Law: Architectural Tribalism and the Consensus Paradox in Agentic Swarms

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.27274v1 Announce Type: new As AI transitions toward multi-agent systems (MAS) to solve complex workflows, research paradigms operate on the axiomatic assumption that agent collaboration mirrors the "Wisdom of the Crowd". We challenge this assumption by formalizing the Consensus Paradox: a phenomenon where agentic swarms prioritize internal architectural agreement over external logical truth.
