As ADPA scales to multi-agent and multi-tier collaboration, the probability of authority, execution, and semantic collisions increases. This protocol (COL) provides the deterministic coordination mechanisms required to ensure ecosystem stability, prevent divergent state transitions, and maintain human-in-the-loop authority across all automated actors.
This protocol enforces:
Protects authority boundaries between Intelligence, Experience, and Orchestration tiers.
Prevents concurrent or double-mutations of the same governing artifact.
Ensures that multiple agents do not attempt to replace the same RTM item or produce conflicting lineages.
Prevents “Divergent Intent” where multiple agents interpret the same requirement differently.
Prevents broken references and service-graph divergence in the Aspire mesh.
The final safety barrier (AEV Gate 4).
Each agent must operate within a strict atomic scope declared via TCL-001. Path overlaps between agents are prohibited unless explicitly coordinated.
Before starting AEV Phase 2, agents must check:
RPAS-TAR registry.Agents must claim and lock target files, RTM items, or topology nodes before mutating state. Locks are formal governance artifacts.
All agent mutations must be atomic. On any collision detection during Gate 1, the change must be rolled back to the last safe CSR baseline.
Agents communicate coordination intentions through machine-readable, deterministic conflict protocols. Unresolved issues escalate to ESC-MULTI.
Agents are prohibited from self-arbitrating multi-agent collisions. The human operator retains final authority over all coordination decisions.
