RelLedger: Relational Information Governance for LLM Agent Organizations

Abstract

In LLM agent organizations, shared records determine which facts are available for later decisions. A sender consults interaction histories before deciding whether to report an event. A delivery gap across histories does not show whose relationship drove the choice or whether the resulting record matters downstream. We introduce RelLedger to audit these links. It holds the event, evidence, risk, and message fixed while crossing the sender's histories with the event target and an unrelated actor. Role reassignment and history rewrites locate the controlling cue. Message and cost interventions show when the effect appears. An attribution ledger maps each claim to its required response cells and separates missing interventions from sampling uncertainty. Recipient replay follows delivered information into downstream decisions. Executable workflows for a simulated one-person company extend the audit to retrieved histories, tool calls, and shared ledger updates. Across GPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, and Qwen, the audit reveals model-specific control paths and smaller relation gaps under explicit loss rules. Claude sends the same factual notice 62.22 percentage points more often with conflict histories than with friendly histories. In executable workflows, strained histories reduce recipient review rates by 45.83 points relative to warm histories for Claude.

CoCre-Sam (Kokkuri-san): Modeling Ouija Board as Collective Langevin Dynamics Sampling from Fused Language Models

Collective human activities like using an Ouija board (or Kokkuri-san) often produce emergent, coherent linguistic outputs unintended by any single participant. While psychological explanations such as the ideomotor effect exist, a computational understanding of how decentralized, implicit linguistic knowledge fuses through shared physical interaction remains elusive. We introduce CoCre-Sam (Collective-Creature Sampling), a framework modeling this phenomenon as collective Langevin dynamics sampling from implicitly fused language models. Each participant is represented as an agent associated with an energy landscape derived from an internal language model reflecting linguistic priors, and agents exert stochastic forces based on local energy gradients. We theoretically prove that the collective motion of the shared pointer (planchette) corresponds to Langevin MCMC sampling from the sum of individual energy landscapes, representing fused collective knowledge. Simulations validate that CoCre-Sam dynamics effectively fuse different models and generate meaningful character sequences, while ablation studies confirm the essential roles of collective interaction and stochasticity. Altogether, CoCre-Sam provides a novel computational mechanism linking individual implicit knowledge, embodied collective action, and emergent linguistic phenomena, grounding these complex interactions in the principles of probabilistic sampling.

Evolve as a Team: Collaborative Self-Evolution for LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems

LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) have emerged as an effective paradigm for complex and long-horizon tasks. However, in real-world tasks, MAS often exhibit various failures during execution and such failures are difficult to eliminate during design. This motivates experience-driven MAS evolution, where a system improves based on its own execution experience. Yet such evolution is challenging because MAS experience is prolonged and intricate, interleaving multiple agents' execution chains and communication messages, which makes it difficult to identify what should be improved. To address this challenge, we propose Meta-Team, an experience-driven MAS evolution framework based on collaborative self-evolution. Meta-Team preserves the execution context of each agent and coordinates post-task communication, enabling agents to exchange distributed evidence for evolution. Building on this design, Meta-Team conducts multi-scale self-evolution, transforming execution experience into reusable improvements to agent behaviors, inter-agent coordination, and team-level organization. Across six long-horizon agent benchmarks, Meta-Team consistently outperforms single-agent systems, hand-crafted MAS, and prior MAS evolution methods; further analyses demonstrate that Meta-Team enables more reliable and scalable MAS self-evolution.

Degrees of Freedom in Multi-Agent Coordination: Between Centralized and Decentralized Regimes

Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) are commonly organized around two coordination regimes. Centralized coordination provides explicit control but can create a bottleneck at a single coordination locus, whereas decentralized coordination offers local autonomy but must achieve effective collaboration through distributed decisions and experience. These trade-offs motivate a systematic study of the space between the two regimes. We introduce Degrees of Freedom (DoF), a continuous configuration framework that quantifies the size of the decision space delegated to downstream agents. DoF controls the granularity of delegated work and the target probability that each task unit is assigned to the branches. Its endpoints recover the two coordination regimes. Across multiple task domains, DoF reveals a hierarchy of organizational effects. Delegated granularity and within-regime routing produce structured but bounded profile reallocations, whereas task domain and retained experience are associated with stronger differences between the centralized- and decentralized-branch profiles. The resulting performance landscape is task-dependent: different domains favor different DoF configurations, while atomic-target conditions are more consistent across runs. In-domain retained experience brings the two branch profiles closer together. The same controlled sweep reveals a task-dependent coordination landscape: some domains exhibit higher-performing configurations, whereas others show flatter responses and no single configuration dominates across domains. In five of the six evaluated state, an intermediate DoF configuration achieves higher mean accuracy than both endpoints, demonstrating the value of exploring the coordination space between them. Together, these findings provide empirical guidance for studying and designing intermediate coordination regimes in LLM-based MAS.
