Multi-Agent Act

A Multi-Agent Act is an agent act that involves more than one agent (through coordinated behavior and shared purpose).

• AKA: Collaborative Act, Joint Action, Multi-Party Activity.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) require Agent Coordination through interaction protocols.
  • It can (typically) involve Agent Communication through message exchange.
  • It can (typically) achieve Shared Goals through cooperative effort.
  • It can (typically) utilize Agent Resources through resource sharing.
  • It can (typically) follow Interaction Patterns through coordination rules.
  • ...
  • It can (often) resolve Agent Conflicts through negotiation protocols.
  • It can (often) maintain Agent Synchronization through timing control.
  • It can (often) establish Agent Roles through task distribution.
  • It can (often) manage Agent Dependency through coordination mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Coordination to being a Complex Collaboration, depending on its interaction complexity.
  • It can range from being a Pair Action to being a Mass Action, depending on its agent count.
  • It can range from being a Sequential Action to being a Parallel Action, depending on its timing pattern.
  • It can range from being a Loosely Coupled Act to being a Tightly Coupled Act, depending on its coordination requirement.
  • ...
  • It can implement Feedback Loops through performance monitoring.
  • It can develop Trust Relationships through repeated interaction.
  • It can establish Collaboration Patterns through interaction learning.
  • It can optimize Resource Utilization through allocation strategy.
  • It can manage Task Distribution through workload balancing.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Social Acts, such as:
    • Group Decisions, such as:
      • Collective Choice for option selection.
      • Consensus Building for agreement reaching.
    • Team Actions, such as:
      • Collaborative Project for shared creation.
      • Group Performance for coordinated execution.
  • Economic Acts, such as:
    • Market Transactions, such as:
      • Trade Exchange for value transfer.
      • Service Provision for resource delivery.
    • Business Operations, such as:
      • Supply Chain for resource flow.
      • Production Process for value creation.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Single-Agent Act, which lacks agent interaction.
  • Autonomous Action, which excludes coordination requirement.
  • Independent Operation, which misses collaborative aspect.
  • Solo Performance, which avoids agent dependency.
